Are you old enough to watch this?
I was watching some of the activity on Twitter today and noticed a really some really odd tweets. It was only one, every couple hours and while the text “Haha, look at this vid” didn’t change, the link did. It seemed worth checking out.
I followed the link and it went to a fake YouTube page with the following text.
“This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community. To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older with your cell phone”
Huh?
How does that prove anything to do with your age? I know parents who have given their young children cell phones. I’m guessing this is a great scam to get legitimate phone numbers for those “market affiliates” that call to try to sell you “long term auto insurance” and other such scams.
Definitely more tricks than treats today on Twitter.
