Title: Someone is re-uploading bitcoin youtube videos.
Post by: Anonymous on July 12, 2011, 11:28:36 PM
Ive noticed this new attempt at spamming. Someone downloads the youtube video and reuploads it to their own  account.

An Example-

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+set+up+bitcoin+with+poclbm+and+a+pooling+website+&aq=f (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+set+up+bitcoin+with+poclbm+and+a+pooling+website+&aq=f)

If you see a video with little views and it contains a bitcoin 7 referral link its a spam account.

It's not me. I only have one unrelated Bitcoin video uploaded on YouTube. It has the following description:

Two suspects, caught on an Android video phone, are still at large after stealing all the Bitcoins from a renown Las Vegas Strip casino. If you have seen this couple, please report them to http://forum.bitcoin.org Your help in cracking this case will not be all in vain.

Someone just pumping their Bitcoin7 account and/or the site themselves unfortunately.  I was marking them as spam yesterday but got bored and just skip past, they (or just the one guy with the spam program) have wore me out.

Thanks for the information mate.

I find the real bitcoin video and post it out to twitter with 3000 followers. Hopefully that drowns out the fakes  :D
