Could someone tell me what the hell is going on with this?

Got it as an E-mail today-

Hi dan demoan,

As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow –
and don't allow – on YouTube. Your video "Русское младший брат уговорил
сестру на секс вее спальне" was flagged for review. Upon review, we've
determined that it violates our guidelines. We've removed it from YouTube
and assigned a Community Guidelines strike, or temporary penalty, to your
account.

Never had a YouTube Account
Never made a video
Sure-in-hell am not Dan Demoan
Certainly can't speak Russian (I think that's the language)

Some botnets send out vast amounts of emails to random strings of letters on the basis that a proportion will be real email addresses, and you got lucky. Or there's a possibility somebody might have gotten hold of your email address from some list and decided to go phishing, but there's not much you can do about that.

Ignore it, maybe block the address it came from if you can (though that may not make any difference), and report the address to YouTube and your email provider if you can be bothered.

It is a phishing scam.

Most of the people with YouTube accounts do not post. They subscribe and have playlists.

But I had forgotten the magnetism of Robin Zander and the charisma of Rick Nielsen.
