I think the best way to not get spammed by this bot tis to set your profile on private, so none can see who you are subscribed to.

LMG had multiple international and NA giveaways, it's not an uncommon thing for them. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Yeah it is, but now the guy/group is exploiting the new update of YouTube to do that. 

I think that when you get an msg. on YouTube you don't question it as much if its fishy.

 

This scam method started afaik when LTT released there new video today
