Is there no one at YouTube that looks at scam submissions? This been happening since yesterday.

These are the wallets posted in the scam site. When I spotted this earlier yesterday they were all pretty much empty, so this is all work during this weekend alone.

Nothing to do with EuroNews. This post itself seems like a scam to get more visibility for a random crypto scam channel.

The account was created in 2008 and has hundreds of Arabic Euronews videos. Seems like it could indeed be the official account of Arabic Euronews?

I can't find sources to be 100% sure though.

EDIT: It has euronews videos that were uploaded in 2012 (likely there are some older ones). Does look like a hacked youtube account.

EDIT 2: See lzooz's reply. It likely is the official Euronews arabic account.

This seems the main channel of euronews and it's there in the "friend" channels tab: https://www.youtube.com/@euronews/channels

It’s not there any more.

The account handle is ”@euroresla”

What are you talking about? I put that it is a scam literally in the title hoping to attract any attention to shut it down.
