YouTube Login Phishing Email (SCAM)

[DBA]

Just got this email, at first glance it looks real however it's not. They're hoping to get you thinking emotionally by saying your channel is in violation, that way you'll overlook a few signs that it's a scam.

YouTube emails will always have your name at the top
Will be from a @youtube.com or @google.com email
If you do click a link in an email, always verify that you're on the right website (youtube.com)





Their login screen looks really good as well, however notice that it's on a non YouTube/Google website.



If you haven't already, enable the two step authentication on all your email and social accounts.

They take the exact source code it literally takes like 2 minutes to set up a site like this.

sounds awful but i always look at how the email is written, if the english isn't very good you know for a fact it's a scam and if you look at both printscreens the english isn't perfect, like words missing in sentences etc. All scam emails I always notice because of this and always look out for it.

Ayy thanks for the warning man. I'll make sure to report if I get it.

I got it also, forwarded it over to someone at YouTube.

Thats actually a really good clone. Well done on looking at address bar as not many people would.
