A few weeks ago, Nicolás Arrieta accused several influencers, including Yeferson and Cintia Cossio, of promoting some companies that would allegedly be scamming people. About this, the youtuber and also influencer said the following: “Again influencers promoted this crap, no matter who promotes them, Yeferson Cossio, Cintia, his mother... these pods are ripping people off left and right”.
And he added, “I talked to Cintia Cossio, I said: - Look, they are ripping people off - that their lawyer had supposedly reviewed and that it was real, it turns out not. He got the money of more than a hundred people and now he's not responding.” After this, Cintia posted a series of videos on Instagram stories where Yeferson Cossio hints that Nicolás Arrieta forced his girlfriend to have an abortion and that everything he did was to gain followers.
“He doesn't do anything for anyone, not for himself. What's more, he even gives them 'I am the defender of the people' and put the bride into depression because he forced her to have an abortion. I have chats and photos of her crying, so she became a drug addict because she hasn't gotten over it,” said Yeferson Cossio in the video posted by her sister. However, Nicolás Arrieta has now released his reaction to the video that would have been published on Yeferson's official account and which was deleted five minutes later. In this one, the influencer talks about the controversy of scams, what was his friendship with Arrieta and even blamed his followers for falling for those scams.

In the video published on Nicolás Arrieta's official channel called: 'REACTING TO YEFERSON COSSIO'S VIDEO RESPONSE', the influencer first stated that, “within his message he said that he was not going to take any kind of legal action, because as he himself says in his video -I'm right-, now the victims of all this are coming together in legal action against this allegedly misleading advertising, against these investment funds (...) I told him on Instagram (to Yeferson Cossio), told him in person to be careful with these investment funds because they were ripping off.”
In the video that was deleted, Cossio first asks Arrieta, “don't demerit my Facebook, don't demerit the other guidelines I've been doing, don't demerit my other business.” He then assures that, “I have not cheated absolutely anyone. When you make a guideline with me, you sign a contract where I am held responsible for absolutely nothing. I am neither a voice nor a vote, I am just a bridge between the people who hire my advertising services and all of you.”
Cossio at one point in the video claims that he loves Nicolás Arrieta and considers him a friend, to which he replied, “And I to you Yef, but because the complaints were already very serious, it was already very heavy that people told me why he was covering up the scams, that I was covering up if he was my friend, that was also annoying for me because, whatever That is, this is a channel where we react and prevent scams, having told him in person, on Instagram, everywhere, because it hurt me that he did not answer me and that he continued to promote these same investment funds that allegedly scammed many people”.

And then he added, “I'm not demeriting your other businesses, what I'm doing is telling you that if you have other businesses, what need to set up so much investment fund? What is greed? , people allegedly lose their savings.”
Yeferson Cossio referred to people who would have lost money in these alleged scams, saying: “You should be a little more aware. A filthy man comes and says to them: 'Hey, put all your money here' and you go and put your money before a stranger just because a filthy man told you so. If that is so, you cannot blame me or any influencer for absolutely nothing, that is your lack of mental capacity, you do the research.”
To this, Arrieta replied: “If you fall into these investment funds because he told you, it's because you believe in Yeferson, because being an influencer is about influencing people, then you are influencing and making people believe that something is 100% sure, so are they idiots for believing you? (...) your long-term credibility is worth more than the money they can pay you. Here comes the difference between what a person who thinks: -Listen, I don't want people who follow me to be knocked down because otherwise those people are going to stop following me and they won't believe in me- and that's serious. In a few years, what happens to all influencers will happen to you and that is that they disappear.”
Finally Arrieta pointed out that, “I told him, hey brother make your lawyers available so that people can denounce these people and to promote these investment funds that all they do is allegedly be to people. You should have done this from the beginning, provide names, addresses, pressure them with your followers to return the money, that's what he should have done from the beginning, not waiting for me to make a video so that he has to come out and talk, he could have done it much earlier.”
