I am noticing this type of scam running Rampant in these channels but these are the specific examples I watch. This is similar to the sex bots tap my channel name for website. The scam is specifically for Robux. The scam is with the channel name itself. They appear to be making varied comments. Variants are Claim Free Robux Check my channel or Robux Giveaway Check my channel. You are supposed to click on the name to be re-directed to the channel and then in the corner where they allow you to link items they post a link to a website where you can "Claim your free Robux".

Video used for my posting example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sjD_6mQStw - I was able to scan just the usernames using the strings Robux, Free Robux and Robux Giveaway. I was able to catch 130 comments alone in this one video but if Auto Smart mode is used then only 10 are detected and can be reported. I am trying to report these scams as where I see these are on more family oriented channels with viewers.

Example channel ID's these comments are commonly seen on. https://www.youtube.com/user/chadwildclay https://www.youtube.com/user/VyQwaint https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmFzvquJYoSDFhd9W0JhZKw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Ewbj-MFWA7dXgQA9y5EEw

All these channels belong to a brand that is trying to do Interactive Storytelling or in some ways it is closer to an Alternate Reality Game. which is one of two I follow. They have even advised people in the videos themselves not to click on these scam links. About as bad as they get is trying to sell you Merch or Play their mobile related game that has in app purchases or their experience which was created in Roblox hence attracting the Roblox scammers. They are truthfully no worse than any regular television program.

@ThioJoe I think it should auto detect channel names like

"CLICK MY CHANNEL" "GO TO MY CHANNEL" "FREE ROBUX"

And there's a whole list.

Hmm thanks for letting me know, the filter should actually have already caught these, but I think I know why they didn't. Edit: Actually the problem wasn't what I thought it was, but it should be fixed in 98c3232e8e90e2a5eb8872246102867fa9db53e3 . I'll create a new release shortly

Now fixed as of release 2.6.2

Thank you. Much More sensitive for the people just trying to Report. The improvements that you made were able to pick up 6000 new comments Between the 5 channels I listed as I try to scan their last 5 videos each day they release content.
