yeah, i don't know what the combination of scams and lmg is. you can identify them pretty easily if you know what to look for. but it should go upstairs now to lmg themself

The main warning sign of LMG scammers are that their english isn't very good ("Thank you For Comment On  Video Something Amazing For All My   subscribers" is a prime example of that).

LMG would send an announcement or giveaway email in very good, if not perfect english.

Not only that, they'd most likely send the email from a linusmediagroup.com email address rather than through a google account.

and they normally use shortened links for those things too...
