Australia-based YouTuber Harris Sultan has reported a scam attempt by a video editor who changed the name of his channel amid allegations of unclaimed funds. Mr. Sultan has 219,000 subscribers and posts videos critical of Islam on his YouTube channel. He abandoned Islam and became an avowed atheist. In a post on X, Mr. Sultan claimed that the video editor he hired was from India and changed the name of his YouTube channel to “Scumbag Beggar.” The channel’s handle is @HarrisSultanAtheist.
@YouTubeCreators, I made the mistake of hiring a cheap video editor from India who wanted to rip me off. When I refused, he changed my channel name to “Scumbag Beggar”. Now @YouTube is telling me I have to wait 14 days before I can change it back. Really, @YouTube?” Mr. Sultan said in his post, tagging YouTube.
