> Scam-baiting YouTube channel Tech Support Scams taken offline by tech support scam (https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/27/youtube_channel_tech_scam/)
So to prove that anyone can be scammed, I was convinced to delete my @YouTube (https://twitter.com/YouTube?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) channel because I was convinced I was talking @YouTubeCreators (https://twitter.com/YouTubeCreators?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) support. I never lost control of the channel, but the sneaky s**t managed to get me to delete the channel. Hope to recover soon. pic.twitter.com/ygmt2CDlR1 (https://t.co/ygmt2CDlR1)
