I Almost Got Scammed by a Fake Podcast Invite | Storytime + Lessons

In this video, I’m sharing a recent experience where I was invited to what seemed like a legitimate podcast — but it turned out to be a scam. I’ll walk you through the entire process, from receiving the initial email and confirming the details, to the pre-meeting where I started noticing red flags and realized something wasn’t right. I’ll also share what I did immediately after to protect my accounts. Because the topics proposed for the podcast were actually very good, I decided to turn this experience into something positive and talk about those topics here instead. This video is meant to raise awareness, especially for creators, makers, and small business owners who receive collaboration or podcast invitations online. ✨ In this video: • How the fake podcast invite looked at first • The red flags I noticed during the pre-meeting • Why I ended the call • What I did to secure my accounts • And the topics I was originally invited to discuss If this video helps even one person avoid a similar situation, then it’s worth sharing. 💛 Stay safe, trust your intuition, and thank you for watching.
