Actually, this happened but a few moments ago...

My nephew was checking his mail, and he received a notice from Youtube that his video has been approved. I had no idea that after he clicked on it, his anti-virus started popping up -- spam mail, laced with unwanted attachments ( *sigh* ) Sure spent a good number of moments to help him clean it out of his desktop.

Careful what you get in the mail, seems like this Youtube ( spam ) mail been around since last month -- judging from a quick search engine browse over it, just a head's-up.

I got it in my main email account last month sometime but I have not tried to put any videos on YouTube so it was sent directly to my spam folder!! =)

I havent seen it yet, but thanks for the heads-up!

I got that email also, in fact 2 days in a row. I opened but it was a spam about Female pill. I haven't post anything on Youtube in a while. Watch out!!

Just to add for the head's up info earlier: in regards to the Youtube ( spam ) mail you might receive in your mailboxes -- if you hover your pointer over the mail ( don't click it ), you'll notice that it has a particular string that ends "service@youtube (dot) com" -- Don't open the mail anymore! Promptly mark it as "spam"
