Scammer able to pose as a real youtube channel in the comments section

Reported by makai...@gmail.com, Nov 15 2016

A scammer has found a way to pose as the actual youtuber on this video, and is spamming scam/virus links. Somehow, when clicking the name of the scammer, it leads to the actual real channel. It is 100% a scam, I scanned the link and the software they tried to install and it was all very bad.

This channel has been hit by scammers for a while now. But once they reached 10 million subs, it has gone through the roof. I have alerted the network responsible of this channel on this matter.

Doesn't look related to Chrome hence closing the issue.
