I Confronted These Pokémon Scammers

It's time to take down the KZbin comment scam bots! The Pokémon community has been dealing with these scammers' relentless replies to comments on videos across the board, and something has to be done about it. In this video, I reply to these scammers who are pretending to be ‪@PokeRev‬, ‪@Leonhart‬, and myself to find out what they do, who they are, and to waste their time.
Scammers will create KZbin accounts impersonating a channel, then reply to comments on the real channel saying those commenters won a prize and ask to reach out on a chat app like Telegram. There they will attempt to scam you for "shipping costs" of an item you will never receive.
If you ever win a giveaway here on Deep Pocket Monster, know that you will never be asked to pay for anything.

Thanks for actually addressing this, because I feel a lot of influencers do not when it comes to scammers impersonating them. I guess their logic is ignore them and no harm done but that's definitely not the case to those who are susceptible! Also, I LOVE hunting games!! I remember my favorite childhood game being Cabela's Big Game Hunter on the PS1! AH THE MEMORIES! The game was also scary tho for my child brain, I'd be shitting myself when a bear/wolf started charging at me 💀💀💀

[@ultimatewitcherfan6677]

Thanks for making us aware of this! I’ve gotten that reply to my comments on other KZbinrs’ channels before and I’m not so sure they’re aware of this because I haven’t seen any of them make videos about this yet. We need to stop these scammers and so far KZbin hasn’t done anything about it. Yeah they say they’re “trying” to do something about it, but nothing’s being done! It’s infuriating!!!
