GreenTeaGirlie: The latest obviously "fake" youtuber, and she has got the "youtube community" going nuts. www.youtube.com/profile?user=greenteagirlieher first video is a 10 second video called "i'm new" which pretty much just says "i'm going to post videos .. hope you check them out." it was posted three days ago (March 25). By yesterday it had over 160K views (now well over 200K). way up in the most viewed lists. obviously scammed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6n50DGPTHIhere's a 10 minute "expose" from the UTubeDramaKing (who is a character himself if you know his backstory), which shows many of the dummy accounts used to subscribe to GreenTeaGirlie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rMurlE-cGIThe DramaKing proposes that this is likely a viral marketing scheme for some kind of Green Tea (note her channel is green.) GreenTeaGirlie also put a second video yesterday has 36K+ views right now. There have been a slew of response video posted to the "I'm New" video, and though they are not accepted as responses by GreenTeaGirlie they show up in the right hand column of related videos. I noted that under the "links" to "I'm new" there are a slew of clicks from myspace accounts which are all deleted now, obviously dummy accounts used to scam her view counts. oh, yeah, and this is the funniest response, from one of those "maybe i'll meet a girl on youtube and we'll get married" guys: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4E0nyceZd4

Oh dammit! The last video was removed by the guy! lol, and that was the one I wanted to see. YouTube is so filled with it's own politics these days. In some ways I find it really interesting, but most of the time I just get fed up with it all. What's worse than people like this girl, Mia Rose, Damien Estreich etc. scamming the YouTube community, is the increasing amount of flamers, or people who just feel they have the right to abuse others. I am happy to watch shows like Lonelygirl because they are not constructed soley for marketing or personal gain, but as something creative that is made for entertainment. But it annoys me that viewers even have to rip in with 'Fake' every second comment. We are so over that! I mean, do you really think that anyone out there could even believe the latest stuff is real?!

Oh yeah, and now You Tube has suspended UTubeDramaKing's channel, only 3 days after his Greenteagirlie video. He has signed up under "UTubeDramaWhore," and is now questioning why he was banned, as he says he didn't break any terms of use. He also points out that since he exposed this girl, she hasn't posted any videos either. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTs97yGQvm8Here is the encyclopediadramatica page that UTubeDramaKing seems to write a lot for. There's not much on it now, but it will probably be updated as the truth unfolds. www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/GreenTeaGirlie

Is that not the kid that made the first legit 'Lonelygirl15 is fake video'? He was a mate of that kid that tracked down those pictures of Jess from the talent agency, the one that posed as an English guy on his website and forum lg15.com.
Am I getting mixed up here?

this was forwarded to a tea company a few days ago, now its pointing to vidstars.com. which appears to be a company which scams youtube: "I would introduce you to Vidstars, but, chances are you've met us already. That's because we were there when you saw boh3m3 go for that Dr. Pepper® Berries & Creme. We were with LittleLoca when she went to fill her prescription for YAZ®; we're the EGCG in the DRAGONWATER® green teas that keep GreenTeaGirlie so damn radiant. Get the idea? We're here to promote your products. Right now." Why do we work so well? The Vidstars formulae is truly a simple one: Online Videos + Credibility + 4,000,000 viewers + you= Vidstars. We know that the Medium is the Message. Sponsors: April is going to be our biggest month ever. Contact JD, our sponsorship guide, to see how well we can work for you. JD McBride: [jd@vidstars.net] Me (Mark Andrews) [m.andrews@vidstars.net] Sponored listings calandar Plugs are available on the following channels: Featured: type:boh3m3 | April 3-8 | product: open| $.04 CPM. type:DaxFlame | NOW | product: sponsor logo on custom-upholstered chair | $5000 type:Renetto | NOW | product: mention, link | $9 CPM. CPA possible." ETA: WIXY: you are talking about matt foremski, right? i can't recall his buddies name, but the voice really sounds the same- AMAZING that you picked that up!

Right, but do you think douche-bag Smitty is behind this? It's more likely that he is one of the first one's scammed into making this promo vid.
I assume, one of the first things the Vidstar guys would want is having known faces make testimonial vids to make new marks sign up with that much more confidence.
Who's the loser now smitty? Damn, I hated that kid. His only skill ... being lamely annoying and able to read Anchor Cove.

Damn, I hated that kid. His only skill ... being lamely annoying and able to read Anchor Cove. Not really sure how well known he is though, to be honest....? My imediate thought is that he is something to do with it, he seems the type...Noticing lg15.com redirects to lonelygirl15.com also made me guess that domain was sold so they could concentrate on something else...vidstars for instance? Why have we jumped to the conclusion vidstars are scamming people? Who are they targeting and why? What do they get from it?
