The digital world has become one of the spaces most consumed by people, so scams on these sites are normal. Recently, the well-known youtuber Luisito Comunica warned his fans about a scam that is spreading on social networks and that involves his name.
Currently, there are many users on the internet, so criminals are also in these media. According to a survey carried out by the digital security company Avast found that 38 percent of Mexicans have been the target of a scam on the Internet, at least once.
In this sense, the investigation highlighted that 25 percent of Mexicans have been the victim of romantic fraud; that is, a type of scam on the Internet where a person takes advantage of the feelings of another person for their own benefit.
For its part, the research indicates that 46 percent of the people surveyed were asked for money by someone who only knew about the Internet and 9 percent even gave it.
This is what the scam is about
Today it is normal to see various contests on social networks that offer any number of prizes, in exchange for a like or follow an account.
Under these data, the Mexican influencer, Luisito Comunica, warned his followers about an alleged giveaway that they are carrying out on his behalf.
The dynamic that is shared in networks about an alleged celebration of the Mexican for reaching his 40 million followers on his YouTube channel, has the name of Luisito Comunica as the protagonist.

Given this, through his Instagram stories, the influencer himself warned his followers that they had sent him screenshots where they let them know by email that they were winners of the giveaway.
“Listen, some people are sending me emails saying ‘you won in Luisito’s giveaway, take a trip’, no, no, no, false, false, don’t fall for those emails, I haven’t sent anything yet, I I said three weeks, ignore that there are dangerous people out there, ratty people, they are rats, take care of those rats,” he explained.
In his accounts, the Youtuber mentioned that it is completely false, that the period to participate has not even ended, so he asked them to be alert to these scam attempts. Since they are very common and he would not like it to happen to one of his followers.
Let’s remember that the youtuber has 40.2 million followers and also has thousands of subscribers on his Instagram and TikTok accounts.
With this, it is not the first time that a celebrity or influencer warns his followers about using his name on the internet to defraud people. As an example, the time that the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, said that his WhatsApp was hacked and criminals were demanding money from his contacts.
In short, the internet is a great tool, so you have to know how to use it and protect yourself from all those evils that persist.
