Great info Roberto! Having multiple emails is key. Keep everything separate and no one should know your gmail associated with your youtube or adsense account. I switched over from sharing my business email publicly to only using a contact form on my website. This way if someone wants to contact me they can't just send me a email. It's helped eliminate a ton of the phishing scams.

From personal experience and knowing channels up to the 300k range personally who were victims, I’d also recommend to avoid “Brand Deal/Sponsorship” emails who have gmail addresses. Makes zero sense how A company can afford to pay hundreds to thousands but can not spend 20-30 dollars on A business domain. Also the most popular email subject currently is “KZbin Channel Notification”. Two have suffered from this and I’ve received one myself. Using A email account tied to maybe A website (Squarespace) etc will also throw A layer of protection since you’re talking through A website rather then A account that can be tied in some way to your channel as well. Stay safe people.

I highly appreciate it… I received 2 of those emails last month (Which I didn’t really care, but just read them..) However, I received another one yesterday, and noticed that the pattern of these emails were similar, (always with a link to click on) and that’s how I came to the conclusion that there’s something fishy about them. The first thing I did was to come on KZbin and search videos about potential scams faced by content creators here on KZbin, and luckily your video was the first one to pop out… Thanks again. Just a bit disappointed that the platform KZbin itself doesn’t warn content creators about these issues…

good video Roberto I already got multiple scam emails, but because it's a separate email account for sponsorship deals it's easier to filter them out (as Roberto said) Extra tips: -use different passwords for every (social media) site -switch off automatic image loading in your email program, the scammer can see that you opened the email, so he knows the email is active to send more spam -never click on a link in an email, the more scary the email is, the more likely it's fraud

Hey Roberto, huge fan first of all! But also, the first email I got about this gave me that "roller coaster stomach" feeling. I luckily did not click anything and checked out my adsense and my channel to see if I had any alerts. I did not see anything there so I figured it was a scam. I have received a ton of these since then and was so happy to see you address the issue. I could have easily fallen into this trap had I not been savvy enough to question the email. (not bragging but I have been interneting for a while haha) One thing I did not think of for whatever reason was changing my email. It is so simple but something I never thought of doing. I am going to do that right after I leave this comment. Thanks again for getting the word out there! Keep up the awesomeness!

At 1:13 you make reference to "the gmail account associated with your KZbin account and Google adsense." It seems to me that using gmail would make your account(s) highly vulnerable to a hacker attack. I have several KZbin channels and Google accounts, and NONE of them are connected to a gmail account. Perhaps being connected to a gmail account is only for newer KZbin channels. Almost all of my KZbin channels are over 10 years old, and I have NEVER been forced to create or even use a gmail account for any of them. I like your videos. You have good stuff.

I had this monetized (averaging $300/month which is a lot of money to me) channel stolen on July 20th when I fell for phishing scam that duped me into believing it was from YT and I gave the scammers my password. They started posting episodes of ‘The View’ to the channel. YT terminated the channel on July 30th. On that day I started another ‘Joe’s Firewood Videos II’ and it took me until October 11th until I got my 2nd channel monetized. I finally got this channel returned/restored on October 24th and now I have two monetized channels. They got my AdSense earnings for July which would’ve been like $300. I am currently trying to get reimbursed for July. I also probably lost $1000 in potential earnings in August-October. It would be nice if YT could’ve combined both channels into one but they can’t, so now I have two monetized Firewood channels. Oh well... It was a tough lesson learned. You probably don’t remember but I mentioned it to you in August and you steered me in the right direction to the path to getting it back and I appreciate that. I will be changing my email address in my “About” section in both of my channels ASAP and sharing this video too. Thanks again for another outstanding video Roberto.

I respect higher security levels and all kinds of precautions, but the Google itself seems to contradict those precautions and make things harder for regular users. For example, when you say that "it's inconvenient to have 5 email addresses" it's also kind of impossible for a small creator, because Google won't let you have so many. I went through hell to create a simple 2nd email account and enable 2-step verification on it because I already used the phone number for the personal account, and I don't have resources to buy another phone and pay for another number just to have it active. Also this actually makes the account more vulnerable because you won't be paying that much attention to the secondary phone as your main one, and it's more likely for it to get stolen or tampered with. And you can use one number a limited amount of times for verification. But I'm not a company and I can't use anyone else's number for that because it's just an absurd - to link your account to another person's phone. And yeah, those security measurements are often necessary to use the account/mail to it's fullest. I don't remember if that happens with google accounts but for example if you don't provide your phone to some social media, you'll be blocked after a short amount of time for being suspicious (already happened to me once).

I keep getting emails from skill share offering a sponsorship (been getting them for a year and initially ignored them as scam emails) the email has a website registration link (haven't visited yet) but my main question is, is this a normal approach? It has the normal URL but has "makrwatch" before the dot com which sparked my alarm bells. Lots of people are sponsored by skill share so I just wonder if this is a normal approach by them. I reached out to their verified twitter via dm and they say the emails are from them, I just never saw myself as having a large sponsor approaching me instead of me approaching them. The good old "if it's too good to be true then it probably is" It's scary times with so many scams going out and with sponsors it's hard to know who are scammers and who are legit that we are just ignoring.

(28K subs small KZbinr) I WISH I saw this video last week. My channel got hijacked and almost lost my channel. Luckily I was online while they were trying to change my password and my 2-Step Verification phone number. I was able to (in real time) fight the process. Let me know if I help you push this issue to more people. This was a scary moment for me and my channel.

Sadly we just got an email stating that someone is going to try to damage our channel! We already protected our KZbin channel however it’s still scary! 😰

I'm so glad I watched this. It's a good thing I saw this while I'm still small. It would suck to build up a large community just to get hacked. Just made a new gmail to protect my account. I will never know the trouble you've saved me from. Thank you.

I didn’t connect my gmail account to my phone bc I don’t want to get a bunch of notifications. Is it fine if I go on my computer and open up the email (not a link in the email) to read it? Funny how u said if this is ur first vid I’m sry bc this is actually the first vid I’m watching from u lol

True dat! Best not put all eggs in one basket. Worth it to have more than 1 bank & different accounts so that Google adsense is not connected to more than one.

As a female about to start a KZbin Channel, I am afraid to use my real name and also my photo in the profile portrait shot. I don't want to be harassed or threatened. Also, I am elderly, so I get harassed by eager scammers many times a day however they can... How should female KZbinrs protect themselves, emotionally AND physically? Thanks a lot.

Thanks Roberto. But I'm not really familiar with everything you speak of, and I actually find KZbin a bit hard to navigate when I'm trying to find where to change my email for instance. So my suggestion is that you do a "step by step" video about how to change all these things you talk about.
