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!!!

[@exedor7685]

That’s really awesome of you doing this for the community. The first time I got such a response at one of my comments I doubted if it was real but wasn’t sure about it. But I’m most times over cautious and thought that if it was real I would miss out on my prize and make someone else happy winning instead

[@kermbydoesart]

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 💀💀💀

[@samachu09]

One thing people can do is reply to the scam comments saying "This is a scam!" To help those that won't know better. The best thing you can do is spread awareness with things like this. If more KZbinrs, not just Pokémon channels, bring this up to people in videos, it'll help spread awareness! This video is a great contribution!

There is a good chance they are scams. Just be extra careful with fake profiles and bots it can be helpful to not interact with them at all.

These scammers are always based in India. They have a strict script they absolutely stick with regardless of what you say or try to do to knock them off script. They typically will ask for payment via giftcard and then ask for the card number and pin. Once you start messing with them, they get very persistent and rude for wasting their time.
