Here's the link to the full advert, clearly AI-generated and obviously a scam that promises a get-rich-quick scheme.

Link shows it as a regular video, but on my screenshot you clearly see 'Sponsored' written on it, apparently paid for by a Google-verified company based in India.

  2. Indians really not helping themselves with these stereotypes

  3. And when you report it. Youtube says it sees no harm or foul with the video…

  4. It has been happening for more than a year and a half now, with many media (both Flemish and Wallonian)

  5. litarally just reported it lol. Though i do have to say it seems like youtube doesnt care at all if they’re promoting scams or at least dont have priority on it. Its not just indians there are adds that advertise like a game and then above a bnp account with money going up. Shitty, scam and straightup illegal mobile adds keep circulating on youtube and reporting it seems to do nothing.

  6. Send this stuff to everyone you love and care about. Doesn’t matter if they’re young or old: show and teach them that these scams exist and prepare them for the day they get in contact with these deplorable people and scam groups.

    This is an awful example, but it’s a perfect lesson that there’s a whole spectrum of these scams; poorly executed to mastermind.

  7. Scams like these can come from every part of the world, not just India. I’ve seen dozens of these in my various feeds (YT, News,….). For a time I did report the majority of them however, in most cases Google didn’t find any violations… Figures.
    As long as you pay, Google will give you a pass

  8. Same shit with mr.beast/john cena and logan paul, people trying everything to scam you

  10. Just saw this obvious investment scam ad as well, immediately reported that shit. How does something like that get trough at Google? Blows my mind.
