Hey ya,

I was just browsing thru videos when I came across your video. I thought it was brilliant have
you ever tried to get featured. I know a friend that made a video with tips on getting you
videos featured. He is after getting loads of his videos feature using these tips. Here is the
link to the video

http:/www.movieswar.com/howto-get-featured-on-youtube-2010/ (I Broke the link intentionally)

you have to fill in a small survey to watch the video but it is worth it.You should try the
Free How DUMB are YOU?! test see if ya can beat the top score of 101 I scored 93 was close lol. I think you have a
really good chance of getting feature if you go about it right I really liked you video
I've subscribed to you and I hope you will upload some more best of luck.

John

Oh and the guy didn't even subscribe, sent this message to like 15 other girls (mostly 12ish) who didn't sing all that great so those were some red flags.

When you play World of Warcraft you learn to not trust crap like that. There are SO MANY fake emails I get pretending to be from Blizzard (with addresses like "BlizzardAdmin@blizzardwow.com")that have a link to go to some site to "fix my account". Any site that you look at that is even WoW related might have keyloggers ready to jump on your computer (had a friend get hacked two times in one week because of that) so yeah..

Thanks you so much for telling everyone I'm glad I saw this. I probably wouldn't have done it if it happened to me but this really is an eye opener. Thanks again

Sorry, but that isn't really hacking in my opinion...this is just a scam <.<

Hah, I get those all the time. Fortunately, they all just filter to my spam box.

I agree. It's more phishing to be precise.

@Sorixas usually all mine do too, but not always.

I'm starting to get really paranoid about this right now.

It's not really that bad, just don't open any email from someone you don't know.

@Anex Mine pretty much goes along the lines of:
