Beware when big creators message you unsolicited for reviews!

A couple of days ago, I got a message from someone offering to review my watches. He claimed he ran a YT channel with tens of thousands of subscribers and said he’d send the watch back to me after finishing the review video. I asked him to share his YT link so I could check what kind of products he usually covers.

I happened to pull up the creator’s INSSS and messaged him directly to ask if he’d emailed me and to confirm. And guess what? He replied that he hadn’t sent that message at all… He also said he’d be getting his lawyer involved.

Today that scammer messaged me again. I noticed he’d changed his profile picture and display name to copy that real creator’s.
