For beauty and lifestyle creators
Stop scam comments on your beauty or lifestyle channel
Beauty and lifestyle creators build close, personal relationships with their audience, and scammers exploit exactly that. The most common scams are fake giveaways and personal-sounding replies from accounts made to look like the creator, which move viewers to a private chat.
The scams aimed at beauty and lifestyle audiences
Fake giveaways
A lookalike account tells a viewer they have won a product or a gift card and asks them to message a contact to claim it, then asks for a “shipping fee” or personal details.
How this scam works →Personal replies from “you”
Warm, personal-sounding replies from an impersonating account, thanking a viewer and inviting them to chat privately.
How this scam works →Contact-number spam
Replies pushing WhatsApp or Telegram numbers, often written in lookalike letters to dodge filters.
How this scam works →Investment pitches
The same coin and “advisor” scams that hit finance channels, increasingly posted under lifestyle videos where viewers are less wary of them.

RemoveSpam’s own removal data comes mostly from crypto, finance and tech channels, so this page describes scams that are common on beauty and lifestyle channels rather than quoting RemoveSpam figures for them.
Why your viewers end up blaming you
Your audience feels they know you, which is why a reply that seems to come from you is so convincing. A viewer who pays a “shipping fee” for a prize that never arrives feels let down by you personally.
For channels that work with brands, a comment section full of scams also looks bad to the partners you want to keep.
What RemoveSpam does about it
RemoveSpam removes impersonating replies, disguised contact details and investment scams automatically, checking your newest video every minute.
Its pattern database is built mainly from crypto and finance channels. Wording specific to beauty and lifestyle scams is added as these channels join, and on Standard and PRO plans you can request custom filters. Every removal is listed in your dashboard, so the trial shows exactly what it catches on your channel.
Common questions
Someone is pretending to be me and running a giveaway in my comments. What do I do?
Remove the replies, report the account to YouTube for impersonation, and pin a comment telling viewers you never announce winners in replies or ask anyone to message you elsewhere. New impersonating accounts appear constantly, so automatic removal is the only way to keep up.
Does RemoveSpam work for beauty and lifestyle channels?
It removes the scam types these channels share with others: impersonation, disguised contact details and investment pitches. Niche-specific wording is added as channels join, and the trial shows what it removes on your channel before you pay.
