- How to Protect Your CZcams Account from Hackers! Warning! ⚠ There Are CZcams Email Scams Stealing CZcams Accounts. ⚠ These CZcams Hackers are using internet scams via email pretending to be CZcams and Google. They are also posing as Brands to get access to your channel!
If You Want to Protect Your CZcams Channel From Internet Scams you need to do the following things to keep your CZcams Channel Safe:
- Update the email address in your ABOUT SECTION to be a business email NOT tied to your CZcams account and Google Adsense Account. Avoid phishing scams!
- Use Two Factor Authentication on CZcams/Google and All your Social Media Accounts.
- Use your CZcams/Google Account EXCLUSIVELY for CZcams and don't give it to anyone publicly going forward.
- DONOT use your CZcams/Gmail Account for any other social media or any email correspondence. This his how they get you with phishing scams.
- DONOT use 3rd Party Apps that are NOT CZcams Certified.
- UPDATE Your CZcams/Google Password and make it complex. Consider using a password app of some kind.
-AVOID saving your password in your browser if possible.
- Have your own EMAIL LIST, I recommend using ConvertKit
robertoblake.com/convertkit
-Have your own Website/Blog I recommend BLUEHOST
robertoblake.com/bluehost
-Consider backing up all your videos PHYSICALLY On External Drives
www.amazon.com/shop/creatorge...
- UPLOAD TO OTHER PLATFORMS LIKE VIMEO AND IGTV
Consider distributing them in other social media 3 days or a week after you Upload to CZcams (I know everyone hates competing with your CZcams channel, but you need to be on other platforms now).

Roberto Blake I’ve had some of these, most of them ask for password. Dark mode on your phone makes the white background dark instead, just a tip. Thanks Roberto
So common, they emailed asking me to stop posting so weird. Stay safe y'all 🦋💙🙌
Shared!
Are people getting there accounts back know this happened to a channel I follow
Roberto Blake Thanks so much man☺️
This is gonna save a lot of channels from the CZcams email scams. If you are a creator, YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION!
How do you dislike a video like this? he's just trying to help. Well 1 dislike is likely the guy from Egypt
it's disliked by 16 hackers
sleepy sleepy it’s the hackers
Its dislike by the 31 hackers
42 Dislikes by hackers!
I bet it's Dio
This was great. Lately scammers have copyrighted actual Google music and then copyright-striked people’s videos and redirected profits to themselves. Google hasn’t addressed this.
Thanks Roberto! Just recently received multiple emails from a scam offering to pay for sponsored videos for cloud gaming and heard some bad stuff that happened from other creators ... horrible.
Appreciate the heads up Roberto. Didn’t know about this, it would suck to lose my channel after 200+ videos.
Lester Diaz Back. your. videos. up.
There's this person going around that hacks Gacha and Animator people so this helps
Yeah...He Hacked MB,Pastellioz ,Pastel Cookie And His Next Target Is Sukie Online...
(Im In The Gacha Community And I Changed My Username,Pfp And Hid My Vids :P)
@@velvfleur Some say if they hack sukie,They can find out Len!
Galaxy Creations 25 sherbase12
This happened to someone I was subcribed to. They started uploading a whole bunch of strange Indian videos, like literally 100 or more . My feed was flooded
Great info Roberto! Having multiple emails is key. Keep everything separate and no one should know your gmail associated with your youtube or adsense account. I switched over from sharing my business email publicly to only using a contact form on my website. This way if someone wants to contact me they can't just send me a email. It's helped eliminate a ton of the phishing scams.
It’s insanely important
*The email tip is a fantastic, easy way to ID Spam.* I get ridiculous phishing emails claiming to be Google/CZcams at least once per week.
They email me daily, sometimes multiple times a day. The funny thing is the email is going to a non-Gmail address. I don’t know if they’re slow or…?
It's a shame we can't just block these emails outright. It gets annoying having to delete them all the time.
Hey Roberto, huge fan first of all! But also, the first email I got about this gave me that "roller coaster stomach" feeling. I luckily did not click anything and checked out my adsense and my channel to see if I had any alerts. I did not see anything there so I figured it was a scam. I have received a ton of these since then and was so happy to see you address the issue. I could have easily fallen into this trap had I not been savvy enough to question the email. (not bragging but I have been interneting for a while haha) One thing I did not think of for whatever reason was changing my email. It is so simple but something I never thought of doing. I am going to do that right after I leave this comment. Thanks again for getting the word out there! Keep up the awesomeness!
Thanks for sharing this! Funny to see this and also that you mentioned Twitter, as one of my Twitter accounts that I've had for over 10 years and over 100k followers just got compromised and Twitter did absolutely nothing to help. In fact, they just said they couldn't assist and closed my ticket. So yeah - not usually a good thing if you get hacked.
If you're online and especially on CZcams, you NEED to know this. In fact, this kind of video guide should be mandatory before you can even create a channel. Thanks for the valuable tips!
I highly appreciate it… I received 2 of those emails last month (Which I didn’t really care, but just read them..) However, I received another one yesterday, and noticed that the pattern of these emails were similar, (always with a link to click on) and that’s how I came to the conclusion that there’s something fishy about them.
The first thing I did was to come on CZcams and search videos about potential scams faced by content creators here on CZcams, and luckily your video was the first one to pop out… Thanks again.
Just a bit disappointed that the platform CZcams itself doesn’t warn content creators about these issues…
Hi Roberto few months ago i got that email asking me to give them my password, i contacted YT and send them a copy of that later, YT service said no we never ask passwords what's so ever! i reported and block ! thanks for the heads up! don't ever give your password to anyone!
Thank you for sharing this, Roberto! Yikes! So many crooked people out there :(
I'm glad that this issue is getting so much coverage now. This happened to my channel back in June. Whoever stole my account deleted almost all of my videos and deleted all of my info. I was beyond lucky to get my account back with all of my videos after 2 weeks of dealing with CZcams's support...it was a nightmare. Please, be careful, everyone.
Thank you for this tip Robert. The lengths these scammers will go to in order to relieve unsuspecting people of their money.
It beggars belief.
Thanks Roberto - appreciate the heads up!
Thanks Roberto! I was getting those a few months ago. I knew they were bogus because I could tell it wasn't really from YT by the address and it was sent to an email not associated with my YT account. This is an important video to share 👍
Yup, a lot of e-mail last couple e-mails.... really annoying !
Thanks for video will share it for you ! 😀
I came across your article "What nobody tells you about being a youtuber." Thanks for saying the truth!
Excellent Roberto. Thanks for sharing such value.
Say What!?!??! That's insane.
Thanks for telling us Roberto.
Yeah thanks
Crazy cyber hackers.
Yeah it’s so frustrating
@@RobertoBlake agreed!
SHARED! Thank you for this video.
Thank you for making this,my brother made a channel and he responded to this guy Logan,he got hacked,thank you so much,I also like how your not joking around and being serious because this is not a prank
Thanks for the heads up!
This is super informative for someone like myself who is just starting up a channel again after a 2-year hiatus, thanks for the info!
I really appreciate your effort of letting the whole public know about this issues. I personally have received plenty of this type of email, scammers everywhere.
Thanks for the heads up, Roberto.
this happened to me today. lucky last second i managed to gain access to my account and change the password
You did indeed get lucky
Thanks for sharing Roberto! Great information.
Thank you! Great advice as always.
Thank you for this video! I call scammers and waste their time. I will share this information with my audience. Keep up the great work, Roberto!
When you mentioned the "CZcams termination" one as a example of one of the scams I actually had one of those termination email, I didnt believe that and ignored it saying that il believe it when I see it and I didnt do anything wrong too. Good thing I didnt opened it and I appreciate this video as always Roberto much love again❤
good video Roberto
I already got multiple scam emails, but because it's a separate email account for sponsorship deals it's easier to filter them out (as Roberto said)
Extra tips:
-use different passwords for every (social media) site
-switch off automatic image loading in your email program, the scammer can see that you opened the email, so he knows the email is active to send more spam
-never click on a link in an email, the more scary the email is, the more likely it's fraud
Wow - Thank you. I am just starting a Channel and going through your video for info. Invaluable!
This information is really useful. Thanks for sharing x
Great instruction and advice. Thank you, I am getting ready to start on CZcams and I have been concerned about all the points you addressed. Thank you so much. Truly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this Roberto!
There is one CZcamsr I know of that fell for this.
Her channel name is Ircha Gaming and I was subscribed to her for a few years.
About a month ago or so, I remember seeing my subscriptions feed flooded with these weird Japanese live streams.
Luckily, she did get her channel back and then explained that it was an email scam.
It’s sad to think that there are people like this out there.
Videos like these definitely are helpful though! 💯👏🏻
I got one of those emails about 2 weeks ago.
It's the guy
from the thing
who does stuff
Thanks Roberto, you're awesome man.
Thank you for sharing this with us! You truly care about fellow CZcamsrs, and I truly appreciate it! 😁
Thanks for the useful video Roberto Blake! :)
Also you have a typo in your description:
_This _*_his_*_ how they get you with phishing scams._
That’s how I knew this was a scam! They were sending the email to the wrong email address..and I also didn’t think CZcams would send me an email
Thanks Roberto! You always give more than you get
That's helpful, Roberto! I subbed!
I greatly appreciate you posting this.👍
Great information Roberto! Thanks ❤️
Thank you for the warning and advice!
No problem! Please spread the word
Glad you posted this!! Good look man!
At 1:13 you make reference to "the gmail account associated with your CZcams account and Google adsense."
It seems to me that using gmail would make your account(s) highly vulnerable to a hacker attack.
I have several CZcams channels and Google accounts, and NONE of them are connected to a gmail account.
Perhaps being connected to a gmail account is only for newer CZcams channels.
Almost all of my CZcams channels are over 10 years old, and I have NEVER been forced to create or even use a gmail account for any of them.
I like your videos. You have good stuff.
How should I do it? Any tips and advice how you are able to? And I thought that no email on your CZcams will make it more likely to get hacked.
Nanime, I receive information through the e-mail that's associated with my Google account. My e-mail account is NOT a gmail account.
I’m new at this and have absolutely no clue how to create a CZcams channel without a Gmail account. How do you do that?
@@ZMOONCHILDlive are you saying you setup a CZcams channel not using a Gmail email?
Bethany Grace, It's very easy. On the "Create your Google Account" signup page, simply select the option that states "Use my current email address instead". That option is located just below the segment that asks you to create a "Username".
Hope that helps.
Oh man I never thought about that! I hope it isnt too late ..
Immor†alJeremy change your Google password right now. If you still can, it’s not too late. 👍
Same happened to me today
Thank you Roberto for all this info!
Thanks for this! You're such a gem ❤
Thank you so much for sharing these measures
Thanks Roberto, this was extremely helpful and important information to know. Much appreciated.
From personal experience and knowing channels up to the 300k range personally who were victims, I’d also recommend to avoid “Brand Deal/Sponsorship” emails who have gmail addresses. Makes zero sense how A company can afford to pay hundreds to thousands but can not spend 20-30 dollars on A business domain. Also the most popular email subject currently is “CZcams Channel Notification”. Two have suffered from this and I’ve received one myself. Using A email account tied to maybe A website (Squarespace) etc will also throw A layer of protection since you’re talking through A website rather then A account that can be tied in some way to your channel as well. Stay safe people.
Thanks For The Info Roberto, Really Appreciate You Taking The Effort To Share This Information
I was about to write in the comments to change your email address in the about section and descriptions, but it was the first thing you mention haha. I’ve always had a different email displayed for business inquiries and know immediately it’s a scam when I receive these scam emails to that address. Never had an issue.
Hello there.. I'm still a little confused.... So okay we change our contact email in our about section to help identify scanners? But wouldn't like everyone else contact you at the address also since it is visible and accessible?
@@nolidcreations they don’t know my Gmail address which is linked to our CZcams channel.
@@TheWorldnUs Okay I see thank you much. I get it now... 💯🎄
In the Description I have some more tips for PROTECTING YOUR CHANNEL.
Copy and paste it into a NOTE for yourself for later! Backup EVERYTHING! Run a LINK CHECKER on anything suspicious for too good to be true!
Do I have to hide my sub counts and my video NOOOOOOO PLEASE I WILL GOT TERMINATED:((((( and also I saw someone saying “share” I don’t know it’s an bot or an hacker I’m scread
There's another scam circulating that a legal outfit is threatening to copy strike your channel unless you pay them $1,500 to avoid the matter. If they have a legit claim, they would copy right strike and you can dispute it legally. They're not looking for a fight, they're looking for an easy mark.
Sounds similar to what's happening to MxR Plays right now.
Thanks for this Roberto, i have had these emails.
Awesome sharing. Thank you!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Smart tips applying now! I got several of these scam emails this week, almost fell for it
Great info! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for the info Roberto!
Good tips. Some of them are great to apply even for no creators as a best practices to protect our info. I’ll definitely be making so adjustment. Scammers have gotten more crafty. I work for a non profit and I’m regularly having to send out PSAs to not fall for attempted scams. Thank you for the great info.
Yeah it’s become a real problem
Thanks a lot for the info man 👍
Wow.Thanks for the info.
Solid tips! Thank you!
Amazing advice as always. Thank you
This is the BEST tip I heard so far! My Google and CZcams Channel was hacked on Apr 28 2023 which was a Huge Problem. I will do what's in this video.
Thanks Roberto great information
Thank you for sharing this!
Great take. Thanks for the heads up.
Hi Roberto just shared this video. I saw a video from another creator recently on THIS SAME subject...I forgot I will put this in my CZcams Thumbnail Group(WHICH is GROWING BTW) as well
Thank you so much Roberto, this was very helpful 👍🏾
Thanks man will share!
Appreciate it. People need to know
Appreciate the heads up
Thank you. Very timely. Just got an email from "Google" terminating my channel subscription by Feb 13.
I get these emails all the time! Thanks for addressing it.
Hi Roberto ... thanks for highlighting this very important topic. Richard
Thank you for this video. I do not have the same email as I created a special one for business inquiries/customer service that isn't connected to Gmail - but I appreciate your advice to swap the email addresses on the other social media accounts too for extra security. I will go and do that straight away!
Thank You My Man! You Helped me so much🙏
Thanks for the heads-up. Also, friendly reminder to those reading the comments: use long, complex passwords and two-factor authentication on your Google account. It makes a huge difference.
Shared. Thank you.
