Popular YouTuber and Esports reporter Jake Lucky feels betrayed and rightfully so. Lucky is a pretty well-known face in the gaming community who doesn’t shy away from extending a helping hand to fans. However, his endeavor to make a fan happy turned out to be sort of a scam and Lucky can’t take the betrayal. Jake had gifted a kid a gaming PC, only to find out later that the kid was selling cheats and using hacks to play Fortnite.
Fans are equally enraged to learn about the betrayal and many believe that Jake’s generosity has been misplaced. Others have opined that the kid should have his gaming setup taken away, and we wholly understand this frustration.

Another account shares a similar experience but thinks Jake did the right thing.
Why we can’t do nice things for people these days. Helped a guy “pay his rent” back when I first got started, found out that was a scam as well shortly after I sent the money.
Your heart was in right place, that’s all that matters.
