A YOUTUBE prankster has been criticised by his victims for not getting their permission to film them.
Dave Mateer's videos, which show him faking a fit and contorting his face while discussing purchases with staff in Colchester stores such as Asda, Sainsbury's and B&Q, were uploaded on Friday.
In just three days, Mr Mateer, 24, of Stanway, had attracted more than 12,000 views.
But now his victims have complained, saying they had not given permission to be filmed.
One victim said: "I was not approached by him in any way and to have my face on YouTube is an invasion of my privacy.
"I am furious."
