#drums #scam
Sir, thank you for your presence and willingness to look out for your fans and just people in general! I know you mentioned drums for obvious reasons, but make sure people know it covers basically anything that makes it seem like a legit thing because it generally seems to be related to whatever channel it's on. You are awesome, have a great day and rock on my good man! 😁
Thank you for the ❤️, you da best bub!
To be clear to everyone/Samus, this is NOT a Samus specific issue, it happens to every big creator with a decent following on UA-cam. UA-cam has failed it's community once again to just help fix this issue, fuck UA-cam.
Yeah this seems to be going on with a bunch of channels recently
UA-cam at its finest.
I remember getting one of these a few weeks ago and was immediately skeptical about it, thanks so much for bringing this issue more to the forefront, Samus, and everyone else just be careful and don't fall for this bullshit
Thank you for addressing this man! Hate that it happened, but you’re a boss for handling it! 🤘🏻
Thank you Samus for letting everyone know about it, and I’m always cautious about Scammers they’re stupid and I hate them I will do everything I can to report em.
Thanks for spreading awareness Sam appreciate it 🙏
Bruh, you owe me a drum set
It’s mine., I claimed it first 😶
Right. Wtf?.?..
It's ours now
@Kuba Łobodas "In soviet Russia drums play you."
Hope those scammers Bleep off forever. So sorry to hear they do this to you. I share this message around!!
As much as it baffles me that people don't think twice to maybe look things up like, surely Samus would LINK THE PROFILE somewhere if it was one of his? This is literally how thousands of people fall for scams all the time, not using common sense when checking someone's profile, getting sent a sketchy link that you definitely should not click if you don't absolutely know who it is from.
Good on ya for making it clear that there is a thing like this going on though, definitely a good idea to spread the message because it seems that somehow people still do fall for very obvious scams.
Thankfully, haven't gotten anything like this so far, but will be really careful. Thanks so much for posting this video. Really important.
Congratulations you have won a free drum kit
@Joseph Bourke Drums Aww thank you very much
@Joseph Bourke Drums Give me your PayPal bro
@Kuba Łobodaslol
Damn that's crazy man. I always make sure to claim my free drum set, it's actually how I get all of my gear. When they ask for money i just remind them the ad said free and they usually reply " oh but ofcourse" and I get my drum set in a few days.
Holy hell! I won a free drum set! Sorry the scammers are hitting you dude.
Thank u Samus for this info.. I was one of those unfortunates that got a fraudulent message also.. I didn't even respond to the crooks.. I think if Samus were doing a shortlist drawing Donner Drum Set Give Away.. He would make that Announcement to us Bahee's on a video...💀🤘
Dude, you rock..much love from New Jersey..these accounts are happening to everyone.
Thanks samus for letting us know. I'm sure that many people ave fallen for this scam. 🙂
Samus they everywhere . Cheers for the warning . Noone should ever be gullable enough to accept that without a personal vid of yaself offering a prize . Keep up the goodwork man . . Your videos cheered me up at a bad time 👍👍🤘
This happened to me like a few days ago. But honestly I knew it was a scam right off the bat
This scam is EVERYWHERE on TouTube right now and it's crazy that UA-cam doesn't give a single shit about it. They've known about it for years and it's only in the past few months gotten to the point that creators actually need to step in and do what you're doing.
I think I got one of those messages once. It's so blatantly obvious that it's a scam, but it's extremely annoying and shameless, and it pains me that someone could potentially fall for it.
Wish UA-cam fixed that, but it seems to be a common issue when channels have a considerable amount of subscribers. But yeah, hope those bots/scammers just f*CK off, dude.
Lol.. You owe me 2 drum sets. I almost fell for it.
100% @66Samus I am glad you put this out there for everyone i seem the same thing all over youtube differant channels same mo you have won something. this needs to be stopped
Don’t get scammed, people! It sucks that a bunch of content creators are having to make videos about this but apparently a lot of people are getting scammed because of it. Don’t fall for it.
Awesome thanks for clearing this for people that don't know. I received this same message yesterday
Rocking stuff love the live streams
Thanks bro! I was gonna say because how do you win something like that by just commenting. LMAO! Besides I already have a drum set and it's a Yamaha stage Custom set. Had it since 2004. Still loving it.
Me too. Got mine in 03.
0:44 xD the way Samus says this cracks me up
All the UA-camrs I follow are dealing with this scam. The bad guys are everywhere and relentless. Law enforcement can’t do anything either largely because these internet bad guys are overseas.
Sammy, I really want that inflatable drum set you promised me.
Ain't nothing free in this world but the air we breathe.
UA-cam wont put a stop to these even when there are simple controls that could fix it. Their efforts are so lackluster it makes you wonder if they are complicit.
Bugger! I was hoping to get my first drumming set from Donner
Hi Sam, thanks for letting us know.
and the drumkit that you win is an 11 pieces sonor SQ2 with the entire collection of paiste signature cymbals 🤣
Thanks for addressing this. I wanted to DM you somehow but wasn't sure how or if you would even see it with all the DMs you probably get.
I actually got a similar message from another youtube page as well using the same profile pic.
I would like to see you do a video of your top 10 favorite drum faces.
First one I got, I said "Thanks, but give it to someone who is a drummer."
Second and third...yeah something is odd...or Sam is more persistent in converting to drumming than a pack of Jehova Witnesses.... lol
🤣 that is awesome!! Thanks for the laugh
Oh my god, I kept getting these messages, thanks so much for exposing them!
I hope I win the drumset for this video!
Rick Beato also had a video about how many of these scams he's seeing on his channel. Apparently, this is hitting all the big music channels.
Thank you for sending my cool new free drum set....i love it.....now if you will send me some one who can play them that would be awesome.
Thank you for this! These fckrs got me- they are getting real good these days.
please make sure you file a fraud case with paypal if you actually sent them money!
Dan omnihility but nice try
They got you?
Dont worry Samus. This is normal. If a very good channel like urs is doing well, these dumbass bots will raid the comment section. Y'know how does UA-cam allow this..
I'm sure the people falling for some of the most popular scams also believe the IRS will call you stating you owe them money..
These scammers should lay on some railroad tracks with all this free time they have.
All the big channels have this happening to them. It’s so annoying. It sucks.
What's the definition of 66samus?
66samus - (1) A UA-camr that will go out of his way to make a video about fraudulent activity just to keep his viewers safe.
Ex: (guy 1) "Hey, did you see 66samus' new video?"
(Guy 2) "Oh yurr, I'm glad he addressed this issue."
(Guy 1) "You don't really see many UA-camrs go this far to show how much they care for us."
but I gotta admit, they are putting in some effort... the messages always fit the content of the channel, so they are doing their research...
Congratulations - you won a free cav check and bahee inspection... just send $22 and we be set.
Sorry to hear some fknut is hijaking your good name sir
Oh, sweet! I can't wait until it gets here!
For sure. I got one of these replies and knew right away that it was spam. Don't fall for this.
Kinda sad i didn’t actually win a free drum set :(
my neighbours are actually very happy :)
Rick Beato did a video about this. His feed is full of the same thing - just offering free high end guitars in his case.
Thanks for this. I peek every now and then, at your channel, shame on me not subscribed, but I got it, did a double take, closed out but many are naive as hell. They'll get bit. And then what?
Hey 66Samus! There was this guy who said you won a brand new electric guitar, you just have to send him $420 first. Trust me, it's super legit 🤣
It baffles me that people put so much effort into scamming folks. I have a little background in computer security, and it seems like another case of the update to the old adage, if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door. These days, if you build a better mousetrap, somebody builds a better rat.
This is happening on every UA-cam channel lately.
It's so bizarre to me that people fall for this shit, but it's nice of you to look out for those who are a bit more simple, or perhaps just young and using their parents' phones.
Hey, if anyone lives in Arkansas and wants a partial free drum set, hit me up I am moving. This video gave me this idea. I can't play anymore because of medical issues.
I sold the cymbals and pedals, but I still got a curved pearl drum rack and it's a 10 piece. I know, it's a weird video to post this on I really want it gone. Only catch is you have to take it all.
This scam is everywhere on YT right now! Thanks for the heads up!
You aren't the only victim of this bahee. Glenn of SMG (fearless gear reviews) has also fallen victim to this bot
watch them do it on this video too lmaoooo “Oh! That’s me! Would you like free drumset?”
Its a bot, so probably will.
There was a fake profile on Facebook some time ago doing something similar and using Jared Falk's profile picture saying things like "you won, message me" and stuff along those lines as replies to comments on Drumeo posts. Really messed up that this keeps happening in the drumming community, and in general.
Wait - I am confused. So I just send the $141 directly to you for the free drum set?!? :)
They do this on every type of video now. Scammers will always find a way to ruin shit
YOU WON A FREE DRUMSET! 🤣🤣🤣
Dude thanks for letting us know
UA-cam is not doing anything to fix this problem that's been going on for ages!!
All I got back from reporting winning a free drum set from UA-cam was if we find this message threatening we will remove it have they of course not there needs too be more UA-camrs retaliating against this I appreciate you addressing this too us if you don't know now you know thanks Samus.
No way, thanks for the warning!!
What? No "free" drums? Nah, this response video could be the scam 🤣👍
The irony of the scammer if they send these "you've won" messages on this video... 🤣 aaaaaaand:
EDIT: there he is… 🤦♂️
You know you fucked up when sam gets mad ...
I've haven't seen him get this mad since that twitch drummer that took his chat raid as a sign of bullying. Smh
@Bladed Cloud right
time for youtube, who could find them, to do something.
Well this is some fucked up shit that I'm just now hearing about. Hope that imposter gets immediately identified and perma-banned on every email account that they're using to pull this irritating shit.
Its not a single person, it's the same shit as Indian tech support scammers.
I hate scammers with a passion. I wish there was a way to make those type of people eat fresh baked cat shit.
Thanks for addressing this, maybe this a task for Pierogi, if UA-cam can’t do shit then maybe he could
Great explanation of a clearly scam and maybe dangerous links.
Yes this happens alot on other channels. But hey if you want to give me a drum set I'll take it....
I got one of these a couple of days ago. Same thing has been happening on Glenn Fricker's channel for a while
I sincerely hope that the followers haven't been stupid enough to fall for this. By the way I paid for postage via PayPal for the drum set I won two weeks ago and still haven't got it yet? So glad I won my kit before this scam came out
Damn, I fell for it. I clicked the video.
I also saw that comment and it’s sort of a scam too. Luckily I don’t fall for it. Saw it this morning.
I GOT SCAMMED. I was drunk what can I say? 156.78 down the tube. I just love your content so much dude and I’m gullible.
I got the same thing when commenting on a Nik Nocturnal video. If it sounds too good to be true, safe bet is its probably a scam.
Thought so, thanks for letting us know
You mean, I gave out my credit card number for nothing?
0:44 it’s sounds like you lost it there
But what if I want a free drumset?! 😀🤟😘
I seen something like this on a different channel too. I commented on the video, and then they replied to my comment with something similar. "You're among our shortlist winners" and they used the channel's profile photo to look more legit. Bur I didn't fall for it. Didn't reply back
$22 says the bot/scammer will start trying the same $hit in the comments on this video warning about said scammer...
Cheers brother 👍
its also happening on other channels as well btw i got the message on another channel so look out for it there as well
If drummer Jesus tells me not to, I shall not.
If the bot bleeds we can kill it 🤣
I've had the same experience with some idiot that presented himself as "Bradley Hall", under the video of the real Beaney also had to do something with telegram and stuff, haven't even read his comment till the end. Be careful on the internet, don't be a bahee:)
I kinda knew something was wrong as I read the channel name :D hell nah, I'm not going to answer to a scammy telegram chan :D I feel sorry for those who fell for this tho :/ thank you for adressing this issue
You know what ?! :D he is still doin it :D after you made this video :D what is he thinking?! now that everyone knows about him they will fall for it easier ?! :D GOD DAMN IT
yup :( still working with my media team to see if there is more we can do about the scammers
This has been going on for months now, listen to this bahee!
I got this one too, i was laughing too hard to reply, i just tried to report it but they already took it down
They did the same thing with Spectre Sounds Studio
Basically what our boy here is trying to say is if you see these people in the comments report them and tell him to go suck a drumstick
Not only you, dude. I got some subscriptions where I see these bots.
