Hi @lukestokes ! This is a great example of how all of us need to act upon scam acts like this one. And sure indeed here is a clear example of how a centralized system like youtube is so vulnerable to attacks and how it can take a long time to solve issues created by scammers.

Hopefully this is solved as soon as possible.

By the way, I started a New Series - Daily Brief Lessons About the Steem Blockchain - From the creator of the 10 Chapters Full Steemit Guide

and also created a message for all Steem Ambassadors campaigning for witness votes for you and @jerrybanfield for your huge support to the @steem-ambassador project. Check here

Looking forward to your thoughts!
