Fake creator dashboard uses your own YouTube stats to trick you into giving up your Google account
Scammers are targeting YouTube creators with a fake Amazon Music and YouTube partnership offer that leads to a lookalike sign-in page designed to steal Google account details. The scam appears convincing because it can display the creator’s real videos and channel statistics to build trust.
Who is at risk
YouTube creators, influencers, and anyone who manages a Google account linked to a YouTube channel are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected partnership offers, creator program invitations, or login pages that ask you to sign in after clicking links in emails or messages, especially if the offer seems urgent or unusually generous.
What to do
Do not sign in through links in messages, verify offers by going directly to official Google or YouTube websites, and immediately change your Google password and turn on two-step verification if you already entered your details.
