What was claimed

This is the newest scam going around YouTube college football season where channels use FOX Sports profile pics, bot views, and then switch to a dubbed Trump speech pushing crypto buys

Our verdict

Needs caution

The documented scams primarily occurred during Super Bowl LX (February 2026) and NATO Summit events. While college football season exists, the evidence doesn't show these scams were specifically targeting or prominent during college football broadcasts. While one source mentions 200,000 concurrent viewers on a fake stream, there is no explicit confirmation that these were bot-generated views versus actual viewers deceived by the fake branding.
