This one shows a slight effort was put into the scam for a follow up to yesterday’s email based version of the scam, but not very much. I’m calling it the Copyright72.com scam because that’s what the link goes to.
They’ve figured out what email they can share a PDF warning to via Drive. Let me rephrase that as I got a notification for “YouTube Support” sharing a document on Google Drive, in my personal account. Probably by finding the channel owner contact,
This one looked slightly more legit because you know, “YouTube Support uploaded an item” and it just appeared in my Google Drive.
You know, because that’s how YouTube does it – sends a PDF to you saying “copyright warning” that’s shared to a Google Drive but doesn’t bother to update the PDF that still links to a video link that doesn’t work… they link to oeyr6jjwmye, the video link they’re claiming is infringing is actually Oeyr6jjwMyE – case matters.
So yeah, if at first you don’t succeed with a very very badly implemented scam (link errors, copyright missing name, email saying they’re going to see what you want to do before they report to YouTube and then including a warning that supposedly came from YouTube,) try try again…
