00:00Hello and welcome, welcome to Mabiki Conte, welcome to Redband Aliassets and they might all be deleted, I think it
00:08was, yeah, they might be deleted off a particular website, I normally tell you that the Sketchfab website is pretty
00:18great, there's a great artist on there, but as you can see on the screen there's a message, oh my
00:25word,
00:27Microsoft got in on the action, Google got in on the action, Gmail got in on the action, and now
00:35Sketchfab is getting in on the action, I'm thinking, how great is that, now let's take a look at what's
00:41going on,
00:41OK, now I've got the sun right on the screen, I apologise, OK, you say down here, Sketchfab support, I
00:51think great, there's ups, your account has been restricted, I'm thinking, how beautiful is that,
00:58you say you, you cannot upload models or share projects because your Sketchfab account has been, hasn't been verified yet,
01:10and what happens, yeah, when they talk about verifying the account, what are they actually talking about,
01:19of course they know who I am, they know what my video channels are, they know what my email is,
01:26and I've still got to verify my account, I'm thinking, how do I go back doing that,
01:31well, this is where the little catch comes in, let's come down here, so due to an increase in spam,
01:40this is the excuse, right,
01:41due to an increase in spam, and bot activity, from various attempts, we have tightened our rules, until you complete
01:57the verification,
02:00I think great, down here, you can carry on reading if you want to, down here, it says, to remove
02:06the restriction,
02:08oh yeah, here we go, just click the link below, to verify your account, it will take less than a
02:18minute,
02:19here's the link, at the bottom, I think, yeah, that's great, the only problem with clicking that link,
02:25I did click the link, just so you want to find that, just so Sketchfab knows, that I did actually
02:31click on that link,
02:32if they go and check it, they will notice, that I've clicked on it, because they got paid off it,
02:37I think, great, there's a woman on there, she's behind the text box, you can't actually see the woman,
02:45and she tells you her name, she says, I'm not a robot, I think, great, yeah, and I'm Mr. Bobo
02:52Box,
02:52and I am a robot, so I think, okay, she goes, well, I need your credit card details,
03:00I think, really, you're hiding behind the text box, and you think I was born yesterday,
03:09you really think I'm going to give you my credit card details, you must be crazy,
03:15yeah, as I said, yeah, now of course, because, you look up here, as I said, you see scams and
03:21all that,
03:22bot activity, yeah, well, if she's not actually physically coming on the screen,
03:29I can't record the conversation, I don't know who I'm actually giving my card details to,
03:36so, because I record my content, which I do, so, if you're sitting there, you're having a conversation
03:41with me, yes, I will be recording the conversation, just so everyone out there looks at the content,
03:50and they can see the process, and how sneaky some companies are, I'm not saying that Sketchfab's
03:57a sneaky company, I'm not saying that, I'm saying, when you get this message underneath your model,
04:05inside of Sketchfab, yeah, and it says, obviously, to verify it, you have to add your details,
04:14I think, yeah, I don't think so, so, I think, okay, what happens down here, if you ignore this,
04:21your account will be permanently deleted, I think, oh, yeah, without the potential of recovery
04:31in the next 12 hours, so, in 12 hours, I will most likely lose the account, I'm thinking, what?
04:42All I've got to say, you Sketchfab, yeah, that's absolutely great, you would really, truly make
04:49somebody a really good partner one day, yeah, that's terrible, it really is, so, as I say, even though
04:58I'll give you a good honest review about the website, like all websites, when I first sign up,
05:03I sign up for them, because I use them, and I'm thinking, I'm having no problem with them,
05:09there's no issues going on, and then, of course, you go to sleep, you wake up, yeah, a couple
05:15of days later, and don't forget, I've been on this site for, what, about six months, maybe a year,
05:21yeah, and now it's all about closing the account, I think, yeah, yeah, I haven't done nothing
05:27different, everything I've been doing has been the same for the last, yeah, how many months,
05:33yeah, and now, they want the credit card details, now, the idea of the credit card details, yeah,
05:42like I'll tell you, all of my content is free of charge, they give you a free account to start
05:49with,
05:50you don't have to pay for it, it's free, they tell you that on the website, it's free to start,
05:57and now, they're asking for my credit card, and if I don't give them the credit card,
06:01they're going to basically delete my account, yeah, well, guess what, that's threatening behaviour,
06:08yeah, and no company should tell you that, yeah, yeah, anyway, just look at the message,
06:16I mean, yeah, is that message real, most likely, probably not, yeah, it's probably a bit of spam,
06:24it's probably the bot activity that's going on in the background, I don't know what it is,
06:29whatever's going on with it, yeah, it's certainly not getting my credit card, because when I first sign up
06:35to the site, if you go to the website itself, you can take a look, the website will say sign
06:39up for free,
06:42yeah, they don't mention your credit card, and they don't ask for no payments, they just don't,
06:48if, of course, you've got the option in there to set up your repayment plan, if you have one,
06:54I don't have one, my content is free of charge, I send all new customers over to Sketchfab,
07:02and if they want to purchase the website, they can, but of course, yeah, of course, yeah,
07:10if they didn't, they can, I won't be sending anyone else in future to Sketchfab,
07:16I'll be telling them to avoid it, that's what I'll be doing, so Sketchfab,
07:21I really hope that this message is a mistake, I really do, because, yeah, I will be talking
07:28about this message on my video channel, and it's not going to look too great for your company,
07:33it's really not, as I said, I like to give good artist reviews, as I said, the website's
07:39fantastically great, then yes, on this website, there is some absolutely fantastic artists,
07:43and they do give you some really nice assets, they really do, for free, and score some of them
07:48your people, because they're going to make a living, that's what they're going to do,
07:52and of course, yeah, in the background, yeah, someone's going around, and giving you a text
07:59box that you can click on, which is very nice of them, according to the text box, which opens
08:04down in the right hand corner, is some young lady, I forgot her name, and she says, I'm whoever,
08:12and I'm real, I'm not a robot, yeah, well, I'm not going to give you my credit cards, whether
08:17you're real or not, and if you're real, you know how to use the phone, you can call me
08:24on my mobile phone, and if I've got to verify who I am, you have to verify who you are,
08:31so
08:32if you want my credit card details, yes, I want your credit card details too, so yeah, if there's a
08:39problem, I know who to contact, stay safe, keep it friendly, see you next time, and if anybody
08:46asks for your credit card details, don't give them to nobody, stay safe, see you soon, bye.
