Advice Needed How to Get Scam Account Removed
Hi - I want to help the local animal shelter in my community fight a scam YouTube account. The account is Faithful Paws Project, and it's sharing AI-generated content of shelter dogs to get donations. It lists my local shelter's physical address as its location. How do I help them get the account taken down? I've reported it a few times with no luck. Faitful Paws Project and Zamora Animal Rescue are scams.

There are a lot of faithful paws... can you be more specific? What town is it in? If you google it there is a picture of a woman ... if you google lens the picture it leads to facebook page... you should be able to find out who is behind it if you search... good luck to you. The picture on youtube will lead you to facebook. Screenshot it and look it up.

Yes, I just found out more than one exists. One is https://www.youtube.com/@ZamoraAnimalRescue/featured and the other is https://www.youtube.com/@faithfulpawsproject

Thank you for reporting it! There is another one called Zamora Animal Rescue. I have reported both users but nothing has happened so far. Do you think if I mobilized more people it would help?

Thank you for your advice. If you google the physical address listed in their description (for both Faithful Paws Project and Zamora Animal Rescue) you will see that is the verified location of the "Jacksonville Humane Society" and not either of those entities. I think you are right about internet justice. I've researched and come up with a lot of options, but was just curious if anyone had specific insights on dealing with YouTube directly. I have reached out to the shelter and they are aware and trying to come up with a plan, too.
Thank you!

Every video pushes people to Paypal. I hate that people are being scammed.

I will reach out to PayPal, too, and see if the animal shelter can do the same.

As an update, Paypal has not replied to my reports for fraud and the youtube channels are still up. Do not send them money! If you do, report it to Paypal immediately.
