- Scammers are using a video of mine to advertise a product that doesn't exist. It's a scam. Please help me to report that scam.
Seems like their pages on Facebook are gone. We already got them three times. I guess they'll make new pages soon. Whenever you see an ad or website of them trying to sell the lifting table, please send me a link: marius.ho1995@gmail.com
I can then forward it to a lawyer who works on taking all the sites down.
You're a great community you can count on.
When reporting the Facebook page put that it's pretending to be another business. If you say that it's pretending to be another person you can't find Marius as a person to select, but you can find him as a business
also a subtle nod to the fact that businesses are valued much more than people
24min since this video went live and the page is already gone xD Gotta love the YT community :P
Its still there
Excellent, but it may have returned. See Marius' pinned post at top, above.
Sorry for the confusion with this video. This whole scam is like a whack-a-mole game. Whenever you see another ad or website that tries to sell the lifting table, please send me a link: marius.ho1995@gmail.com
I have reported them and linked this video to all 3 ads there are several comments on each but can't read any of them. Worth the effort had his mortising video stolen and used to advertise products on Facebook. Basically if a selling ad appears and it's not from a mainstream brand or company direct then don't touch with a barge poll. I feel for you Marius there is very little to be done where Facebook is concerned which is why some of the content creators I follow are off to MeWee. Take care and stay safe ,Mike
Something similar happened to the UA-cam channel "flower hill farms". She got action much quicker because it's a business.
@@Coxeysbodgering I have also reported the video on Facebook as SPAM.
put a watermark on your videos from on forward (it will prevent all this again)
FourSeason-3 is a new spam account by them. I reported it.
Marius, I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you but it looks like it's finally being taken care of. Try not to let this bring you down. The world is full of low-life scum always looking to steal and hurt others as they lack the morals, decency, talent and ingenuity of people such as yourself. You are a fine, classy, gifted talent that has enriched others like myself through your amazing videos and content. Keep up the amazing work and let those dirtbags burn!
That's why Diresta put his name everywhere. You should tag every single thing on fab with your logo :D
As much as I greatly prefer videos without watermarking/tagging in every shot, it's getting to a point where that as an option is worth considering.
Right on. It's really hard to get away with stealing any of Jimmy's stuff because he tags all of his tools and numerous areas around his shop.
@@MurcuryEntertainment but doesn't that just put his mark in the stolen footage? In this case he is more worried about the association with the fraudulent group or person then in the stolen footage. With that said you do what you can to protect yourself, particularly the easy things, and a marker on the screen does not affect the viewers experience when done right.
I agree. Marking your products as Jimmy Diresta does, not only protects your products but your video [content]/subscribers/popularity is totally backed by being fully recognized. Correlating your likeness, also in all videos. So mark everything with your name and/or logo before recording it, even if it you use medium that allows you to erase your name off of your finished project(s), if you wanted to. anyone and everyone will know you and your products.
@@smaug1234 It makes it easier to get it taken down. And, given the size of his audience, it doesn't take long for stuff stolen from Diresta to get noticed and reported.
It’s true. Bad things happen to good people. It’s gone now. Keep your head up. All your fans are in your corner. Just keep making great videos. Thanks 👍🏻
Make signs with your brand and hang them on walls, stand them on tables or shelves, anywhere they will be in the background during at least 90% of the videos. Make a video about it.
As I refreshed their FB page it looks like it was taken down.
Just spent 10mins replying to all the facebook comments ensuring as many people as possible know it is a scam.
By the time I saw this, the ad was no longer there, well done people!
That is great! ...Yet it may have returned. See Marius' pinned post at top, above.
Comments for the algorithm. Marius, thank you for all you do. We, your loyal viewers love you. Keep up the great work, and don't be discouraged. If someone is trying to scam using your content, it's because you are doing great work. Keep it up!
So sorry about this situation. It's sad when people use your goodness and skills to fraud other people, but what you are doing is the right thing. There are some pretty sharp people out there that can help you. Stay cool and watch what happens.
Sorry, that you are having to deal with this. You are a great guy.
Doesn't solve your problem but it can't be said too many times: smart grown-ups don't use FB.
Im the owner of the fake Website. What’s your problem with it I don’t get it?
I know how to prevent your videos from appearing on other social media sites. If you are interested let me know and we will figure out a way to have a private discussion.
Make a unique Logo and put it everywhere, on table, on storage, on tools etc.
That's one of the things I'm working on in the background at the moment
Was going to suggest the same. Watermark your videos and to make it difficult to remove, randomly move the watermark around or even change it throughout your videos.
Pretty sure watermarking will not help with this issue. These scammers don’t just steel the content, they also want to lift on the success. Making your video’s more recognizable might even help them in gaining (for a short time) some trust. They just make 100 sells and when reported move to another account and start over. Watermarking will make it easier to report and get stuff offline though. But I don’t think it will stop the scamming.
Good luck Marius. I will check the adds and report them. I think that is the best thing that can be done now.
Marius, thank you for the email reply the other day when I reported the ad to you (and to FB). You've handled this wonderfully in this video. I look forward to each and every video and I knew the "fourseason store" site was a scam the moment I saw you and your project on the video. The price of wood alone would be more than what they're asking for. Crazy. Good luck to you on your channel and with future projects. I'm certainly looking forward to it.
Marius -- do you have a link to the segmented semi-rigid dust collector "hose" that attaches to the wye above your shoulder in the video? I've been looking for something like that in the 4" size.
yes, have a look at my video: "Is 3D printing worth it"
Sad that you had to go through this. Unfortunately scamming seems to be one of the things booming as a result of the pandemic.
Lost count of the amount of inspiration I've got from yours and other similar channels - loads of respect and thanks.
I don’t believe that it has anything to do with the pandemic (Covid-19), it’s the pandemic of (greed \ avarice)!
There are a lot of scumbags out there.
Hi Marius keep up the good work, unfortunately there is always somebody to take advantage of good people. Will leave a complaint if I can.
Couldn't find the video from the link you posted, Marius ... hopefully Facebook have taken it down. Looking forward to your next video. You've been missed by your loyal followers but I guess most of us understand that Covid has put a real burden on everyone.
Interestingly, the scam ad made me curious enough to search for you on UA-cam. Now I am your newest fan.
I have just reported it. However, I can’t find the page anymore so hopefully it has been removed! Good luck!
Thanks for coming through for the good guys!🤘
Aww, I'm a brand new sub TODAY, &= seeing your distress in this video because of what some bad actors are doing in your name that could negatively impact your subs( & others) is indicative of a genuinely good heart& makes me glad I'm already a fan. ( It also reminds me ALOT of a ...certain person...who I am very close to that has some youtube 'fame' and has been targeted in turn for such, and I can tell it does affect him personally much more than he lets on in his videos( of course it is purely for the benefit of others to not be burdened by him...) its just how his good natured self deals, but know that I am one of MANY subscribers of yours who can see you& we do give a shit&:will take action to have people like yourself &:my friends' back when the time comes...and its all because WE appreciate YOU... Keep up the good !🙏❤️🤘
There's a special place in hell for people who do stuff like this. So frustrating.
Reported to Facebook as a Scam. Keep up the great work Marius.
Good work. We gotta look out for the decent ones👍🤘
Hi Marius. Jonas Winkler hatte vor ca. einem Jahr eine ähnliche Situation. Vielleicht kann er helfen.
Gruß
Stefan
12th Aug 21 - Found advert from Cara7s - put the YT URL into the comments. Already some comments saying it's a scam. When I try and report the advert FB says there's a problem. Good luck fella.
Reported it for you….. Sorry you have to endure this. People are stupid. Keep up the great work brother.
File for DMCA infringement on Facebook for the stolen video/video clips. They have to respond to all such claims within 24 hours by taking down the offended video.
I've tryed now to reach the links but the videos are off, I think (12/08/2021 13:18 Brasil)
I've never seen one of you videos on facebook. Having said that though, I report nearly every ad I see. My experience tells me 99% of the ads on facebook are scams. I guess the scammers outbid legit businesses and win the ad placements. Jeff Bazos is profiting off of these scammers, who in turn profit off of (dumbass) people who don't research what and who they buy from. I ultimately blame facebook for enabling these scams.
I've just seen the ad on Facebook Market place 16/8/21..for 24.99.. Reported it as a scam.
I've reported this loads of times now and given your name as the video owner. Just the company names change and FB won't do anything. To be fair, the scam pricing is obviously so low...including worldwide shipping and therefore easy to figure it out. Absolutely hate these b......s
Lots of people have suggested a watermark in the video. Might I suggest a variation - the text "Video stolen from owner if not showing on UA-cam". Keep this moving unpredictably round the screen. If it is stolen, and not shown on UA-cam, it speaks for itself. If stolen and shown on UA-cam, it's a lot easier to raise a copyright strike.
I don't use Facebook, but if it's on Facebook, it'll be on reddit eventually.
If I see it on reddit, I'll comment with this video's URL and report the post.
While I'm at it, I'll also put your entire playlist on play to ight as I sleep. I don't know how much that'll help, but I love your stuff anyway.
Anyone here good with programming... you know the pay x money per view of the ad.. all you need is a script that plays the ad 10k times.. they will lose all the funds for the ad.. making the ad go down.. make them go bankrupt.... but I don't know if this would work . Wick wick.. this is just a theory and I'm just asking if anyone has done this? Because this would be so sad if this works for the scammer and if they get charged money while never making it back.. it would just be so sad for them.. so I was wondering if this would work?
I regret that I fell for this scam and even ordered 2 for that price! Should have been wiser. Anyway, I complained when 2 folding stools arrived. They answered my complaint and claim that they will refund me. Thanks for your message.
Pay an attorney a few bucks to write a Cease & Desist letter to Facebook. If Facebook ignores that, you now have a legal case against Facebook. Facebook will ignore your complaints all day long because a complaint doesn't carry any weight of recourse. A cease letter is very different. I wouldn't pay more than $50 for such a letter.
None of those links work now so hopefully it's taken care of. At least for now :)
found an old page from 2019 misusing your video and reported it, but that was all I saw. Good luck, sorry to hear this.
It just showed up in my FB feed (Aug. 12th, 18:40 UTC)
I've reported it.
I've seen it. Sorry that happened but thought it was scammy. Lucky I've watched for years. They are stealing videos from woodpecker and advertising one of their drill guides at a ridiculous rate at a fifth the cost.
You're welcome. Glad you saw my post and I figured it was a fake product. All the best Marius.
THEY'RE BAAACK!! I've reported them today with the same ad.
i just saw an advertisement on facebook listing your table 8/28/2021, reported it as a scam
After report, Facebook says the video doesn't break any community rule😐
I can see a lifting table add with your video on Yahoo under advertiser Rosalooks. I don't click adds anywhere especially yahoo, but you might try to chase it down there.
I’ve got your back Marius - I’ll be more than happy to help. I have too much respect for your hard work to see someone else take credit. Also, have you seen this? You can add a watermark to your videos without the need to manually place your logo in each shot. ua-cam.com/video/lcU1cV4XS2g/v-deo.html
Looks like the scammers don't like this video. They gave you thumbs down.
In the future, labeling your help requesting video with wording including "scammers using my video" may result in a faster response with more views.. We all greatly appreciate your content. Thank you. Hoping that this never happens to you again, scammers are Shameless and redundant in their attempts to steal. Asking your viewers to post links to newly found scams using your content may be beneficial.
ready friend, complaint made, directly from Brazil, I'm with you
found this still there:
facebook.com/HackBuilding/videos/300049900907123
added my own comments + reported page to facebook
This video has never came up in my subscription tab. But somehow was suggested because i watched every single video on this channel. What are you even doing youtube?
Hello. Marius. I just saw that post, Yes they stole your design , new it was your video, Facebook is bad , I just just posted on the ad stolen
Place sign in the shop with your official shop, and write under it "fuck scammers"
Sorry to see you go through this. Shawn Wood channel had his video stolen to sale cheep knock off Chinese Mouse traps. Hope this does not stop you from making video.
It's on Instagram too (you may already know this). Will report it if I see it again. Sorry it's happening to you.
Perhaps make dummy ad for the table that uses your own video that warns that this is a fake! Basically poisoning their well.
Saw the add today on Facebook. Immediately report it and I hope it help you down the road.Facebook block all the bad comment unfortunately.
Make your own Facebook page for your channel and add some money to the account for advertising. once you do that you will have access to higher level customer service that can help you out over there. just my thoughts. sorry this happened to you.
I am seeing the ads on Facebook and have commented on them with links to this video. Will report them as well. Makes me mad, these scammers. Hmmm, so mad it seems I'm typing like Yoda speaks.
Just brand everything, or at least have in every video your name on some plate or something similar....
Looks like it's time to have half transparent watermarks trough whole screen on every video all the time with disclaimer about things not being an ad or for sale. Good times, we are evolving.
In future, because of the s**t who stole your work perhaps you could add a water mark in your videos - Rod
Sorry to hear this Marius, sadly not surprised. Their actions are criminal and deserve reporting to the digital crimes team of your regional Police Dept.
you cant find them as fourseason store now but its renamed to fourseason-4 .heres the link and im gonna report them facebook.com/FourSeason-4-108602678188303
I knew it as a scam; price was too good to be true. Setup a web site and start selling these lift tables at a fair price and I'll buy one. Cheers!!!
You are doing the right thing. The world is full of good people but it also has some crooks. Love your videos..
Es wurde bereits gelöscht. 👍
Just saw it on Yahoo in a background ad. Reported (I hope someone reviews it)
hmm. I never got a notification for this video and didn't see it in my sub box, interesting move, UA-cam.
Bonjour Marius, j'ai fait se que tu demandait, j'ai reçu un message de facebook comme quoi la page est en règle, cela est problématique...désolé. Nath de France
I just sam a sponsored add on instagram.... Will send you pic... I reported of course....
Did you report this to UA-cam? Did you contact your local police department for assistance?
I just saw the video come up on an ad in Facebook this morning. I added a comment with a pointer to this video, and I'm reporting the ad as fake to Facebook.
Its been removed
I think they killed it a few minutes ago. I managed to report it for IP, and fraud.
Marius, i just saw the scam on FB. I commented this was stolen from you.
Back on today (18/8) Have just reported it.
I just spotted another ad on Yahoo! from an outfit called Unicatly.
I reported them as Scammers for you Marius... Let them thieves work for their money... Would also think it sucks if others run off with my idea
Ich habe diese Betrügers für dich gemeldet Marius... lass diese Diebe für ihr Geld arbeidten... Wäre es scheiße, wenn sie mit meiner Idee davonlaufen?
Ich hoffe, es hört bald für dich auf... Grüße Michiel Lok ( >>> Lokkie 67 @ the Shed
Done and now it's gone. GG everyone. Let us know if this kind of thing happens again!
Thanks!
I do not mind Watermarks in videos - especially for safety reasons vs. scammers!
Schon vor Tagen gemeldet, den Dreck!! Und ich glaube mich erinnern zu können, dass Jonas Winkler das Problem auch hatte! Eventuell weiss der noch was. Ich drück die Daumen!!!
I have come across a new one on TikTok.
I have directly reported it.
I hope we all can get te new one down again.
I will try to add watermark to all of my tools.
Seems like its down. None of the links work for me.
Looks like the facebook page facebook.com/FourSeasonGlobalOfficial has been taken down - well done team!
I uploaded to Facebook but I look at that as giving you support.
It just pop up on FaceBook and I reported them. Hope FB take action.
I do not use FB. Too bad social network. It's impossible to the creators to keep their copyrigths. no content control. Lot of shame on this social network... courage for the future do not give up 😉
Just now have seen this. So sorry to hear about this. What a shame. Were you ever to get it resolved?
If seen an ad for the lifting table on tiktok. Reported it and send you an e-mail.
Mark : Running a scam on my platform? Great!
Went to comments on that page and stated it was SCAM. Video stolen. Need more people to comment. Well see if comment gets deleted.
Just saw it yesterday! Reported instantly ... I remember your vid and 30€ was straight bullshit lol! Good luck!
It was on instagram. As sponsored story..
I saw that ad the other day. If I see it again I will report it. Sorry they're doing this to you.
