Good idea, fry them scammer butts!!!=p

Forward the youtube account details to MTV. If legit, I'm sure MTV would corroborate the details.

Or

Ask them (the potential scammer) for some other type of contact, email address, phone no. etc... THEN pass this on to MTV for corroboration...

We'll probably do that next.

I just used Corroborate for the first time ever online...

What is this "Corroborate" you speak of? :p Is it like a whois?

I tried whois, then I realized its only for websites, not emails. Go me.=p

You mean the word?? LOL:rofl:

Anyways - I hope its real... but sadly it probably isnt - Im guessing russian mafia dooshbags...

Most likely..:uhm:

It is obviously a scam. Just ignore it.

That was my feeling, but I couldn't convince my friend of that, in infinitesimally small chance that it might be legit.

NixiePixel on Youtube got a VERY similar message to this (exact same?), it was a scam.

YouTube - Copyright Infringement?

Execept, they said they were from SpikeTV this time.

Interesting.

Sure!

Should I post here, or make a new thread?

Thanks for the replies guys!

I'll keep you updated, and maybe we can nuke some scammers!!!!! OOrah! :p

Re: Is this legit or a scam?

Another question:

Who at MTV would we contact?

I just looked at their website and its a confusing mess of show advertisements. :meh:

Re: Is this legit or a scam?

support@mtv.com or so? Let me look for a moment.

Actually, i can't seem to find it. Only for belgium.

Me neither.

Maybe they have a number we can call somewhere.:uhm:

BTW, my friend apparently got an attachment supposedly with a form in it.

Of course, I'm weary of attachments, but the virus scanner on his email said there was no threat, tho virus scanners can be wrong, and he is using AOL.

Re: Is this legit or a scam?

What kind of form? Screenshots plz.

Oh, its an attachment, so we haven't opened it yet.

I was going to try to opening it in a Virtual Machine with VMPlayer but I don't know if viruses picked up in VM's can be transfered to the host machine?

EDIT: Tho its not the attachment itself, this should help some:

Re: Is this legit or a scam?

You should be fine in a VM. if not forward it to me and I'll open it on my benching drive since I need to reformat that anyway.

Re: Is this legit or a scam?

Being that direct about asking where you want the payment sent sounds to me like they're crossing their fingers to get into your bank account and steal every cent you've got.
