Torrent ads popping up on youtube

[HiddenTidess]

I've reached out to several sources, with seemingly no answers. 

A few weeks ago I started getting ads for the Sims 4 over on youtube, it looked strange as it looked nothing like their official branding. Clicked on it, and realized it's a torrented/pirated version. I reported this to a guru with no answer, reported it to EA help on twitter and no answer. I reached out to youtube and they haven't answered either. 

So please be aware of these ads, someone needs to do something about this before someone thinks it's EA/Origin and ends up getting hacked or worse, their identity stolen.

Hi @HiddenTidess, 

Thanks for caring and looking to flag suspicious ads. We're unable to action reports that come through the forums but we do have a dedicated channel in place to receive reports and to get them through to the team investigating them. This EA Help article will guide you through that process: https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/faq/how-to-report-cheat-hack-scam-websites-to-ea/

Thanks,
