dear SunglassesRealm,

greetings from LA!

I'm a songwriter and music producer based in Los Angeles - u can check out my website here: http://trackonerecordings.com/-- or do a google search for "Alexander Perls" ..

....... I have a pretty strange question for you: Would you consider selling control your youtube account?

maybe it's so important to you that you wouldn't sell at ANY price -- cool, I totally respect that ....

but... in case you WOULD still consider selling it... I can now immediately offer you $710 (seven hundred and ten US dollars) for control of your youtube account. I would be able to pay you by www.paypal.com, so we're both protected.... and it's totally OK if u want to re-post the videos from this account to another "new" youtube account or etc.....

if you're interested, please respond to this message to let me know!

if you have ANY questions, u can contact me using any of these methods:

***he leaved me his phone, email, MSN, AIM and mail, but I can't write them here, privacy you know***

thanks again for your time to read this......

today a new message popped up my YT channel, from the same dude

Dear SunglassesRealm,

Greetings from Los Angeles.

I work for Track One Recordings -- you can check our website here - http://trackonerecordings.com/

We wrote you an email back in late 2008 -- asking you if you'd consider selling us control of your account, as it would be really useful for us to promote our music.

We're assuming you're not interested -- which is ok... ;)

But - if you change your mind, and would like to discuss this possibility, please write back.

We could handle the payment very smoothly via www.paypal.com -- or if you'd rather sell it to us on Ebay, that should work well, also.


Thanks!

Maya @ Track One Recordings


P.S. if you want more background on us, please do a google search for "Alexander Perls" -- he is the world-famous music producer who started Track One Recordings in 2007.

YT channes of this dude is http://www.youtube.com/user/trackonerecordings

suggestions?

Why he wants specifically your account?

[Sunglasses]

it would be really useful for us to promote our music.

Maybe becouse I have over 1200 subscrivers, I dunno....

[aris13]

I don't think it's a good idea to give your account.

[Darkmoon]

...is this sorta thing legal? Can you sell an account? You might wanna check that.

[Gradon]

Maybe he's in a band called Sunglasses, and wants your account domain?
Or maybe he's just some dude awing over having loads of subscribers.

@Aris
maybe you're right... but 710 dollars you know, I can always open a new account. With that money I can buy tons of biohazard stuff

@Darkmoon
Yes it's legal, there are several people selling their facebook accounts and YT accounts on the net

@gradon
i think the second one

[aris13]

Then I guess that you can sell your account and create a new one.

[Sunglasses]

I'm serching through YT terms of use page but I' cant find anything, however i'm not sure this kind of thing is 100% legal, several dudes are selling their YT channels, but it doen's mean is a legal operation. maybe Darkmoon is right

Well, I'm going to ask more info to this dude.

[The Dude]

It sounds completely hooky to me.

[Sunglasses]

guys!!!! he paid me 355 dollars, just checked my paypal, I can't believe, I'm so happy!
he will send me the rest (other 355 dollars) soon!

Now I can buy tons of Biohazard stuff!

A friend of mine did it once for £200.

I laughed at him initially.

He got £200.

I wasn't laughing.
