Another Youtube scam

 There have been quite a few YouTube scams here recently where you are asked to rate YouTube videos and are promised to pay you quite large amounts of money every day ~230€/$ and when it shows that you already have 230 collected in your "account", you are told to watch a longer video ~4min, that it is still very important to them that everything in the rating is personal and authentic and they are happy to pay money for it, but then in the end they explain that you have to pay 29 to identify yourself or something to get your earned "income" 230 and which you will obviously never see again and there is no point in going to the police, because you yourself transferred your money to the scammers. So if someone online asks you for money for the work you have done or for the fact that they want to transfer money to you, then it is obviously a scam. Yes, Google and Paypal also want to identify you and make a verification transfer before the transfer, but you don't have to transfer money to them, they transfer you a small amount of less than €1 and then you have to identify the amount you received on the website to verify that the money actually reaches you.


And now a similar YouTube scam has been committed in Finnish
