    You fail at internets. Don't go near a computer for at least a year. Bye.

    Are you sure they're scams?

    I've been getting these for a good while, mainly for YouTube accounts I haven't used in years.

    I was worried enough to hang onto them, Gmail didn't class them as Spam though, which worried me. Now your post worries me..

    It's best to copy and paste the links than click on them.

    Is it a scam? I clicked the link, given that google now owns youtube I didn't think it unusual that they would want confirmation that the account was still active.
    There's also an ad for GooglePharmacy that keeps popping up every time one opens google... what's the deal with that?

    You seriously need to clean what ever it is your using (laptop, ipad, tablet, desktop) you'd also want to check the settings on whatever browser your using it. Sounds like you've got a tonne of malware and trojans running around your system.

    Don't know if it's a scam or not I allows compair links from emails I get.

    When I do click on the links I use red hat so that way I won't get a virus or malware sh**

    I don't even have a YouTube account with my eircom account so that's why catch my eye I got one from my hotmail account which I did have a YouTube account for that so I didn't really take notice of that one.

    Not an advert, it's an illegal pop up!
