H...H...Hello EMC, today is a sad day. Today I recieved an email from a lady named Jeanette Hughes. She works at the youtube company. She said I violated the terms of service or something. I was spamming I think that is enough said. Your sad friend, Cole WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *so many tears*
It is always a good thing to check on rules/terms of service at first hand.. to not be sad afterwards. Sorry to hear that.
It was obvious from the start it was fake. Google wouldn't contact you using a person's name, and they certainly wouldn't ban you for spamming - that's not actually 'possible' on YouTube. They only really 'ban' people for having multiple copyright violations on their account. Read the site ToS to stop yourself from looking like a fool in the future.
It's certainly fake, Google would never send a name in an email. It's normally an automated system email. Can I ask what the sender's email was?
It's not that kids are gullible, it's that their parents don't teach them how to appropriately act and handle things on the internet. There is a proper and an improper way to handle emails from unfamiliar or unknown people. You've found the improper way
If you are 13 and over or with a parents permission, you are able to access this website (Or lie about your age)
Were there any links in the email you clicked? Sketchy emails usually have sketchy links that try to get you to download sketchy things.
