I need your help

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Scammers are using a video of mine to advertise a product that doesn't exist. It's a scam. Please help me to report that scam.
Seems like their pages on Facebook are gone. We already got them three times. I guess they'll make new pages soon. Whenever you see an ad or website of them trying to sell the lifting table, please send me a link: marius.ho1995@gmail.com
I can then forward it to a lawyer who works on taking all the sites down.
You're a great community you can count on.

I look forward to each and every video and I knew the "fourseason store" site was a scam the moment I saw you and your project on the video.

Basically if a selling ad appears and it's not from a mainstream brand or company direct then don't touch with a barge poll.

    That's one of the things I'm working on in the background at the moment

    Was going to suggest the same. Watermark your videos and to make it difficult to remove, randomly move the watermark around or even change it throughout your videos.

    Pretty sure watermarking will not help with this issue. These scammers don’t just steel the content, they also want to lift on the success. Making your video’s more recognizable might even help them in gaining (for a short time) some trust. They just make 100 sells and when reported move to another account and start over. Watermarking will make it easier to report and get stuff offline though. But I don’t think it will stop the scamming. Good luck Marius. I will check the adds and report them. I think that is the best thing that can be done now.

    I knew it as a scam; price was too good to be true. Setup a web site and start selling these lift tables at a fair price and I'll buy one. Cheers!!!
