So this popped up right now on my phone and in my inbox. What the hell this is? I know that this is a scam thing but how did they get to the email addresses?

Your YouTube Account is your Gmail Account in one, these scamers invited you with your Email into this Google Fotos Folder or something to scam everyone. I got invited too so i guess soon many more will come. Just report it for scamming since i cant believe it is LTT for real..

I've submitted this thread and the other one about 10 mins ago to the rest of the mod/admin/LMG staff team.  We'll see what comes of it

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

They send emails out to every possible combination, just like telemarketers on the phone, or they just buy up databases, remember lots of stores got hacked.

 

@Fez_Boy

Well we all know the lengths Linus will go to, to make a buck!
