Youtube Thank You Survey Scam

Beware of the Youtube thank you survey scam. The thank you survey usually pop outs when you try to open or search for some videos on Youtube and it may appear to a be a survey conducted by the video sharing site itself.

Why It is a Scam

Although the thank you survey may appear to be offered by Google's YouTube  a closeR inspection of the survey's URL shows it is not by youtube of google.

The survey is likely a phishing attempt. The "survey" may also be collecting email and contact information from non suspecting people.  If you have fallen to this scam, you will likely be receiving spammy emails or text messages. There is even a high likelihood that you subscribed to an expensive text messaging subscription. Contact your phone service provider as soon as possible.
