This has gotten exponentially worse in the past month. In the past, I'd see maybe one or two videos get targeted with Telegram scams per month.
At this point, every one of my videos is targeted, and usually in waves two or three times before the spammers give up.
Sadly, there are at least 5-10 people _per week_ who now email me asking if the scam is legit, and I have to tell them no, I would never choose you to win something then ask you to send me $100 to send it to you.
The tool linked here works perfectly every time for me... I don't know how this problem is so prevalent (MKBHD said it's like 6-10% of all comments on his channel now) and YouTube can still ignore it (while doing other pointless things like removing public dislike counts).
