I have heard some of the other KZbin presenters don’t say giveaway or prize. They say other things like a thank you or something similar. They have had similar experiences.

Most of them don’t send out of the USA because of the cost.

It’s disgusting how scammers do this.

It’s pricey mailing to Canada and we are right next door!! That’s why many creators only do continental US

I know it's expensive but I do it anyway. The furthest I've done is Australia.

The scammers are so frustrating! I got a email and it looked like it was from the USPS. They wanted a credit card to pay $.30 for redelivery of a package! I was expecting a package but I had never had to pay for redelivery in the past. When I did some research, I realized that even though the logo was perfect and everything looked legit, it was a scam! 😖 Thank you for sharing! We all need to be on our toes!❤

I've gotten that one too. And the only way I knew that it wasn't real was because I hadn't ordered anything. If not, they might have got me with that one.

Quite often if USPS they will leave you a card in your mailbox to have an article with postage due and you go to the PO to pick it up.

Wow! That is scary.

@mayg.m.3767 6 ай бұрын

That is so scary and I am so sorry you had that experience . Of course you don’t have to send money anywhere. I live in Europe and I perfectly understand that I have no option to win your giveaways…only if it would be a PDF pattern or something like that. Thank you for sharing.

I actually ship worldwide. So if the person actually was in Indonesia I would have paid the $30 to ship it to them.

Thank you for this video. Reminders to be on guard are always helpful. You and I are both gen x. I think we grew up skeptical, and unfortunately we need to be.

Definitely. And it becomes more and more true each day.

a quick tip - if you hover over an email you will be able to see if the email is legit (the actual link information will be on the bottom left to read) since clicking on the link can cause way more hidden problems aside from a scam :) - for example a gmail email link will simple will only show the email, but if its nefarious, it will show a hole bunch of letters and numbers to disguise it.

This is exactly what I did but the email address was actually legit. Just the person wasn't who they said they were.

I will do the same thing with shirts and pants. Clothes last longer if you don’t wash as often. If I didn’t get dirty or sweat. I’ll wear a second time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Most of the time I don't even leave the house. I've cut my laundry in half so really I'm saving the planet, right? Lol.

@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509 6 ай бұрын

Scary stuff! I'm so glad that you didn't get scammed. Take care!

@UndertheNeedle282 5 ай бұрын

Me too! I was just so caught off guard by that.

Holy cow. 😒

@terribishop5313 6 ай бұрын

I've heard some creators say they won't be saying giveaway or key words in your title. The one who truly watch you will be the winners.

@UndertheNeedle282 5 ай бұрын

I guess that's what I'm going to have to do from now on. That's really a shame.

@sharonvitori4101 6 ай бұрын

Sorry this happened, just trust their are more of us truthful than those who choose to scam

This is so awful Chaundra. Glad you’re becoming more internet savvy, waking up to the creepy dark web. So sad for the genuine winners who’ll be afraid to send those details. Dangerous scummy world we are living in. Bless you and keep you safe. 😍🇦🇺

I know that some people will ask you to send an email then thy will give you a code word and one that won is the only one that can edit the comment they put in the giveaway video, Then the one that had the giveaway knows you are the winner.

@UndertheNeedle282 5 ай бұрын

That's such a shame that we have to do all of that just to keep from getting scammed.

@helenpeddycord2241 6 ай бұрын

These bots are everywhere🤬 If I remember correctly, you always announce US winners ONLY, as most others do. Seeking cash is a dead giveaway‼️ You are up on your game Chaunda! ❤️❤️❤️🧵

I actually ship worldwide. I know I'm taking a chance because it's really expensive to ship out of the US but I just feel really bad leaving anyone out.
