View Bot Fraud Discovered on My Channel

My stats will be publically available but I suspect this is coming from mobile views. This is NOT being done by me. There is no reason for that video to go viral all of a sudden. Just a few hours ago it was at just a few thousand views. I have no idea how to disable this view bot other than remove the video, but then they would just target another video of mine. I am forwarding this to YouTube and to Machinima assuming Machinima will even still take my emails.

Here is the analytics for my video

Here is a skype conversation I had with someone who claims to run ViewTornado a view botting service

it would not have worked. They would just target another video. The good news is YouTube fixed the problem and now the botters have to find a new way to bot

HI THERE, PEOPLES OF THE INTERWEBS!!! I was just wondering if maybe you could check out my channel, which may or may not have good videos on it that you may or may not enjoy… I HATE having to advertise like this but I feel that us small YouTubers need some recognition considering the fact that the big YouTubers take the spotlight most of the time. Aaaannnnyyyywwaaayys thanks for reading this! I REALLY appreciate it!!

Because youtube might suspect that HappyCabbie is doing the botting then they would remove his video or his account.
