I don't see YouTube ads because of uBlock Origin, but from what I can tell from other people's computers not having any form of adblock, I've seen that Adsense serves scam ads all the time, so it wouldn't surprise me if YouTube ads were the same. (It's astounding how these corporations can hold the mantle of "fact checking" but are happy to serve potentially dangerous bullshit when it helps their bottom line)
I use ublock too. I only see ads on mobile. I have started screenshotting all of the scams I see. Maybe I will send them all to the FTC at some point.
