Random Youtube message?

Hey all, so I just started adding videos and started using my Youtube account, and today I in the inbox, I got random message from someone with the username of "Lip***" * indicated numbers, I don't remember his exact username.

Anywas, I opened up the message, and it said to go to subyoutubedotcom to get more subscribers. It wasn't a link, but he did type that webstie out in the message.

Is this just some spammer looking to get attention?

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

That would be my guess. You could always google -subyoutube.com and see what pops up. I did. A legitimate business will have lots of results. I could hardly find any for that url. --> dubious!

A message from a stranger & a strange link are perfect ways to deliver malware. It could just be a very zealous salesman, but why chance it?


edit:doh! Hungry Man beat me to it by seconds!

 

They was no URL to actually click on, but I just htought it was weird.

 

I'm guessing that by not making it a working link and just typing out the "dot", the author was probably trying to defeat spam filters. I don't know much about spam filters (something i'm interested in learning about)- so that's just a guess.
