I can’t find that video even by specifically searching for it!

Maybe it is suppressed for most users and something about your viewing profile opts you in? I’ve never seen anything like this video or anything else that looks like a scam on YouTube.

Everything on my recommended page is pretty relevant to my interests and seems legitimate.

It's probably been removed since I posted the image, but I think that's what the scammers are doing: posting them so frequently that when they get taken down, another one takes its place - hence the need for something to algorithmically block them before relying on user reporting.

Correction: the video is still up, ID is "qoFPBms-7g4" Others currently broadcasting similar scams:
