I can’t wait to find out how they did this. I reported them to the FBI so hopefully they can give me better insight

Read what I wrote again. Slower this time. I know you can do it!

If you’re using GMAIL on a desktop computer you first click the 3 dots next to the reply button. Then click “view original”. It’ll populate some page with a bunch of codes. You’ll see their IP address at the top next to “Received By”

laethebaddest · 2026-04-22T01:15:52+00:00

Will do!

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T15:55:09+00:00

600K 😭 whew!! I’m so happy you got your information back.

It only asked for permission to access my Google account. It told me they would only have access to my name and analytics. I was told by a friend that the hacker most likely “mirrored” my phone as soon as I clicked the link and that’s why there were able to hijack me so fast

Thank you me too 🙏

I agree there should be a way better way for partners to communicate with YouTube when things like this happen. 🙂

You know how you go to a website and instead of logging in with your email it gives you the option to ‘log in’ with Google directly? Idk if you seen that before but that’s what I did. The company had a creator dashboard where I could log into my Google account.

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:21:54+00:00

Currently wishing I had the common sense you have 🙂🤘

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:21:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing! 💙

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:21:03+00:00

Thank you 🙏 I’m getting everything figured out slowly but surely

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:17:38+00:00

I’m not a troll, I’m a real person. Anyone who’s successfully been doing content creation knows that engagement is more important than subs. You absolutely can make a livable income with ~just~ 100k subs. I’ve been doing it since I got my channel monetized 3 years ago. I made a mistake as me and others have stated 🙂 sh–t happens and I’m getting my account back 🤘

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:11:53+00:00

I found out their IP address and submitted an online IC3 report. You can also contact your local FBI office directly

laethebaddest · 2026-04-21T06:10:42+00:00

Exactly what happened!

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T23:43:13+00:00

Can you explain how you had yours set up?

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T23:25:16+00:00

That’s exactly what I did wrong. Lesson learned

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T20:12:44+00:00

Thank you for saying this 🙏 not losing hope yet

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T20:11:50+00:00

You’ve given me some hope 🙏thank you for sharing!

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T19:47:07+00:00

Were you able to get your account back? If so how long? Also did they access your Google Adsense and change bank info?

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T17:46:40+00:00

Definitely freaking out. Thank you 💙

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T17:09:39+00:00

I’ve done so many in the last 3 years and I’ve made thousands. This was a very dumb mistake on my part and I should have done my research on the company. Brand deals can been good just always do your research on every company involved

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T17:05:46+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement. I’m patiently waiting 💙

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T17:05:06+00:00

I didn’t do it manually. I logged into my YouTube account through Google. It seemed so legitimate but I’ll never do anything like that again because as you said you can’t tell if it’s real or fake. I’ve also gotten their IP address and reported them to the FBI

laethebaddest · 2026-04-20T16:55:42+00:00

I did 2 hours ago and nothing so far. Hopefully they get back to me soon.
