This Scam NEEDS To Be Stopped

If you're on the Fortnite side of YouTube, chances are you've encountered livestreams on your Shorts feed with captions like “Name one Fortnite skin I don't own” or “Find a skin I don't have”. While they may appear harmless initially, you'll soon recognise it as a deceitful scam. The creators use a developer account stacked with every skin to deceive fans into interaction, offering V-bucks as incentives for identifying a missing skin or making donations. It's disheartening to constantly witness this and in this video, I address the issue.

Apologies for the random popping sounds, must've been a rendering error on my part

This sort of behavior does not surprise me in the slightest. Clickbaiters have done things similar to this, crazy Epic Games/YouTube/TikTok doesn't do anything about this.

[HugsMcDugs]

I’m glad someone has finally spoken up about this. it’s so annoying and frustrating to watch these scammers make kids fall for this, it’s so disappointing.

[heavylight]

The funny things was that when Epic removed rarities from the cosmetics, the streams actually showed the cosmetics with rarities 😂

[ItsOrel]

youtube should troll these creators with putting a giant banner in red on their stream that says "This is fake dont fall for this" something along the line of that

[GeorgewhoisGreat]

Finally someone called this out.
And another thing, I am starting to feel like the whole chat consists of bots, too. All the people are so repetitive and they all request the same skin over and over again.

One time a guy promised that if you donated 100 dollars he said he would give tons of gift cards. About 10 minutes later someone donated 500 dollars and didn’t know that it was scam.

“Name one skin I don’t own”
“Name a father you didn’t have”

[evingity]

bro finally somebody covered this. I see these scams all on shorts and it always makes me feel bad for the kids who fall for these scams. so glad you covered this!

[Kyndex]

I recognize Fruit Boom before, he used to do roblox scams livestream and its mostly just a classic website scam and giving robux in group funds meaning they must have used a fake website before to make it real.

I didn't realise he was into fortnite now.

The scammers banned the word prerecorded, or scam in the chat so no one knows

[RagSon-cuxv]

I saw this as well. I always see it when I’m scrolling through YouTube shorts. Then I realized they were prerecorded and on a loop.

[RavioliBurrito]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! Some guys even have like 5+ streams going on different channels and it’s all just prerecorded loops! Deserve a sub

[lime]

epic shouldnt have to worry about this at all imo, it should be tiktok, and youtube,

[SOSO_CREPITUS]

I knew it was a scam. I kept typing in the chat that’s it’s a scam over and over and over again… nobody listened or replied…

[SleepyyJT]

Thanks for covering this, seen so many live shorts of these and I just kind of scrolled past them not thinking much of them. Assumed it was a scam but didn’t think it would go that deep

[GoatedTV]

I also noticed like you said that these streams are prerecorded. I wish YT would stop pushing this bullshit onto shorts feeds. As content creators we should all upload videos about this scam to raise awareness. Thank you for this video.

[Simpli_Complex]

Dude thank you for making a video on this! I found these types of videos ages ago and tried to report and nothing was done despite several separate reports. Such disgusting people.

[The_IMT]

Thank you !!! their voices are literally like chalk on a whiteboard and they just farm clueless kids.
