I got a message from from fake LinusTechTips youtube channel. It will come up as this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIUebATQGEQnK-gR-RpmFVw?feature=em-message_received and reads as Linus TechTips. I was just wondering if anyone else got this and to warn others. It informs you that you have supposedly won a giveaway. It sends you a link that I didn't click on, but most likely either takes your info or puts a virus on your computer. I hope no one has to figure out what is at that link

 

@LinusTech you are needed for reports

CPU: i7-4770k CPU Cooler: NH-D14 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb GPU: EVGA Superclocked 780 ti MOBO: ASUS Maximus VI Gene PSU: Corsair RM 850 Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M

I also received a message from "Linus Techtips". You can tell that the message is fake because when you click on his name, it takes you to a channel with no videos.

 

It looks like this guy is messaging everyone who is a subscriber to the channel and telling them they won a giveaway.
