C Crushed Messages 970 NC Messages ItsMeReally Nov 12, 2011 #7 Are you 100% positive? Look again. Sometimes websites make domain names very similar to popular websites in case someone makes a typo... And i highly doubt its real. The only thing you could do now is call google or youtube's support number.

boiltheocean Premium Messages 7,758 Samoa Nov 12, 2011 #29 I'm having a little trouble working out your problems still, could you perhaps provide a post with more than one simple statement.
