So, I got this email, regarding a very popular video on my YouTube channel about that happy baby fox running around? Somehow, I got a ridiculous number of views, and today, I received an email with the following text:
Is this legit, should I follow up? I could definitely use the extra money and all that, but I don't want something horrific to happen. Advice? I thought it was a joke too, but it might be legit, I don't know.
Good afternoon!
My name is (name redacted) and I'm a Content Analyst at Network of One, a YouTube licensing company that discovers, verifies, and manages the world’s leading content. I was the one who reached out to you via Youtube.
Our research team came across some videos on your channel, and would love to offer you $550.00 USD for the following video:
Happy baby fox running around!
In exchange of the payment, we'd like to run our approved Google advertisements on the selected videos. The ads are a mixture of skippable ads to transparent ads that appear in the lower 20% of a video. Moreover, your channel will remain independent and the agreement would not affect the other videos on your channel, or any future uploads you may have.
If you have any questions I can help answer or if you would like to discuss the details of this offer, please don't hesitate to reach out using my contact info below.
And if you are not interested, please do still reach out quickly to let me know so that I can remove you from any further communications. Thanks!
Congrats and best,
