Well first of all, that guy is trying to scam you is my gut feeling. It doesn't seem right that a couple of people are recommend him to you then charging you THAT amount of money to do it just to get your account back. Don't fall for it.

Second, I don't exactly know what the grounds was for Youtube's decision, there's not enough context for me as to why they terminated you. If it deals with copyright which, is usually is bullshit anyways because of how happy youtube is willing to pull the trigger on that real fast over nothing, just make a new one. Problem solved.

@SMW-TURTLE-quest Oof, yeah that's where things get tricky.

I'm wondering if its because Youtube is detecting your IP address? If it isn't that then chances are your new google account is still probably connected to your phone number.

At that point you would probably need a VPN to bypass that restriction. The thing is you'll likely pay an annual or monthly fee of sort to get that but it may be well worth the money and the costs will vary depending on which service you choose.

Plus you get that added layer of security from hackers which is the main reason why people would get it, BUT, for purposes like this it also comes in handy.

EDIT: That being said, I've been debating whether or not I want to continue to upload my videos to youtube as of late. The problem I have with them is that they've been less and less friendly for the small content creators and besides the fact that... they favor corporate conglomerates more than the former it's just getting to be a headache to deal with.

That's definitely a scam. No "national cybersecurity firm" would offer their services as a black hat hacker. Especially not out in the open like that.

Here's a tip, don't believe those people who say that they can get back you account after YouTube took it down in exchange for money. They will just take the money and block all contact with you. Honestly, you're lucky that you weren't scammed off of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Also a bit of advice: don't waste your time trying to "get back at YouTube". I'll be realistic here, those people can't hack Google. You can't hack Google as well, and your plan to upload pornography to YouTube can easily be stopped by Google.

As for your account, YouTube says that you violated the sex and nudity policy. You also complained about others doing it and why you were hit with termination. So I'm assuming that you did upload something that violates policy and you were just simply caught doing it. Best course of action is probably just to start fresh and, you know, not upload that kind of content.

You might need what DioShiba said, such as a VPN. There are free options available. But I recommended trying to switch networks or devices first to see if those are hit with restrictions as well.
