and see if i was being overly cautious or if there was really something to be worried about all along i extracted the demo and placed it next to the example video i hovered over them to double check their file types the example video was indeed a screensaver file and the demo of the game was a exe as i expected it would be but then i noticed something this was meant to be a short video showing a sponsorship example now tell me why both of these files are exactly the same size huh this was just two ways for me to infect my computer with the same file i was finally certain that this was in fact not epic games and i would not be receiving a brand deal from them obviously out of curiosity and confidence knowing my computer was safe i double clicked the first file my cursor loaded then nothing happened i tried the second file same thing my guess is that once these files are opened the dangerous content within would be released and begin collecting data and infecting your computer in ways i don't even want to imagine i closed the sandbox and with it all traces of these vials were destroyed i say i was certain but in reality i needed some sort of closure something from the source i wrote back to them keeping the facade of blind belief i did what no creator should ever do when trying to land a brand deal i asked to increase the payment after everything was decided and in the works hahaha you know who i asked for yeah well that's not good enough anymore can i perfect twice an amount please and thank you if this really was a legit opportunity it's safe to say that it was flash down the drain by now in my head their response would give me the closure i was looking for if they said yes without any hesitation i would know it was fake i wasn't sure what i would do if they pushed back the idea i didn't really think about that but i was sure this wouldn't occur based on my experiences so far an hour later i got a reply back and wow this gave me all the confirmation i needed hi jess no problemo we have an unlimited budget for this opportunity an unlimited budget how was that possible but more importantly why would a brand tell the creator that yep get in the toilet i am so grateful that my instincts kicked in right at the most crucial moment i was literally two finger taps away from unleashing whatever hell was contained inside these files hi jess are you in touch to this day i have no idea what they really were but it's clear to me that they were nothing good and i'm better off not knowing uh youtubers are so hard to work with guys please take your online security seriously there are people like this targeting all kinds of people not just youtubers never click on links that are sent to you from people you don't know and most certainly never download files that are sent to you either sometimes though you won't even be approached directly by people trying to steal your data but luckily thanks to the sponsor of today's video nordvpn you don't have to worry about that nordvpn offers protection from online threats and lets you browse the internet truly anonymously did you know most places in the world log every single website you visit and keep your information stored for two years or longer your private information is often then sold to third parties and exploited for their own gain using nordvpn will keep your
