When someone looks too good to be true online, they probably are! And we're putting that theory to the test. In this episode, Chris, Saied, and Rajeil invite listeners to submit the Instagram handles of “professionals” who might just be full-time finessers in disguise. From fake real estate moguls to lifestyle coaches with mysteriously rented Lambos, the crew breaks down how to spot a scammer before your wallet does.➡️ But this isn't just about calling out nonsense, it's about teaching you how to separate the signal from the scam. The hosts dissect why so many people fall for polished frauds, the psychology of digital deception, and how clout has become the new currency of credibility. It's part social experiment, part financial intervention, and fully hilarious.

Meghan and Miranda are joined by former Rep. George Santos, fresh out after 84 days served (including 41 days in solitary confinement) with his federal sentence commuted by President Trump. He walks us through the moment-to-moment reality of prison (moldy ceilings, expired food, the “shoe”), how he coped, who helped, and why he wants to channel the experience into prison reform and case review work (a la Alice Marie Johnson). We also hit: Why he says he was moved to solitary & how “protective custody” works. Mental health, re-entry, and the very relatable first shower/La Mer/skincare binge! NY politics: NYC mayoral race, congestion pricing, Kathy Hochul's vulnerabilities, and whether Elise Stefanik could win statewide Culture break: J.Lo's historic box-office flop, Katy Perry + Trudeau rumor mill, and the “diva down/diva up” jokes. On Kamala Harris' book & Pete Buttigieg: do voters care about identity, or competency? P.S. Miranda's live from Las Vegas (yes, that Flamingo sign), and the Cheryl Hines interview is up now on YouTube — thanks for the love on that one.

Tap in for raw, unfiltered conversation from the most thought-provoking duo in podcasting.

Scammers are flooding LinkedIn—and they're getting smarter. In this episode, Jim Stroud talks with Jay Jones (aka “The Profiler”), a copywriter-turned-scam hunter who has personally helped take down 31,000+ fake jobs and 7,000+ bogus profiles. Jay breaks down the most common grifts hitting job seekers and employers—from ATS “resume score” shakedowns to hijacked recruiter identities, one-way video “interviews” used to clone you, and brand-impostor company pages—then shares a clear playbook HR and TA leaders can use to protect their pipelines, reputations, and people. You'll learn: • The top red flags: Gmail “recruiters,” zero-activity profiles, low connection counts, camera-off interviews, missing requisitions, too-fast timelines. • How fake “ATS scores” and resume rewrites become gateways to identity theft. • Why hijacked profiles + brand impersonation are skyrocketing—and how to spot them fast. • Practical verification steps your recruiters should follow every time. • What companies can do beyond a website disclaimer to actively deter fraud.

THE SCAMS. They're getting wilder and wilder, and harder and harder to spot up front or even before you hand over the cash, if the scammer is faking a service you'd have to pay for. We're all getting these endlessly in non-writing life too, the ticket you didn't get, the recruiter who isn't one… I had a friend get a VERY real one that looked like it was from her town, about an existing work permit for work they were doing. The tell in that case was that it asked for a wire transfer, and in that town, you wander into town hall, hand them a check and also explain that you really paid that meter but you hit the wrong button for a car on ParkMobile.One important link we mention: https://wheregoes.com, where you can check any link you're given to see where it really goes—and you should.Here's Rachael's episode where she reads you her whole scammy letter, and talks about getting so jaded that she almost didn't open the email from her publicist telling her she'd hit the list: http://www.howdoyouwrite.net/episodes/i-hit-the-usa-today-bestseller-list-and-a-warningAnd to sign up for all Rachael's writerly things (which are EXCELLENT), go to https://rachaelherron.com/write.

What if life isn't a cosmic classroom full of tests, but a multidimensional game of vibration, resonance, and self-mastery? In this episode of Spiritual Shit we flip the old “Earth school” narrative on its head and explore a radical new paradigm: you're not here to pass exams or prove your worth — you're here to play with frequency. We'll break down how the universe mirrors your energetic broadcast, why recurring “life lessons” are really vibrational echoes, and how to stop living like you're being graded. If you've ever felt stuck in endless karmic cycles, wondering why the same struggles repeat, this conversation reframes the entire journey into one of conscious choice and freedom.Together we'll unpack the myth of worthiness tests, the Hermetic Principle of Vibration, and how to re-author your personal frequency so you can level up — or level out — by design. Expect practical tools like story audits, somatic release, boundary setting, and frequency casting to shift your reality without waiting for “graduation day.” We'll also explore relationships as resonance fields, energy dynamics that drain creatives and empaths, and how to step out of the old matrix rules to create a life driven by self-sovereignty. Perfect for seekers, spiritual entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to stop proving and start playing the game of life on their own terms.Work with me, your host,  here: Thelovelyalea.comOrder MEANINGFUL MANIFESTATION thelovelyalea.com/bookGet spiritual 1-on-1 Coaching thelovelyalea.com/servicesBecome a Love Society Member to get workshops every week , extra content, and community hellolovesociety.comFollow me on Instagram instagram.com/thelovelyalea ( Remember I will never DM you for readings - watch out for Scammers ! )

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This week in the world of Mr. Beast, or Jimmy Donaldson, has been a whirlwind of activity, spectacle, and even some hard pivots from controversy. The most headline-grabbing—yet ultimately tongue-in-cheek—event that set social media ablaze involved football. In a video that quickly amassed millions of views, Mr. Beast claimed he had bought the NFL, appearing alongside commissioner Roger Goodell to announce dramatic changes to the league. The spectacle turned out to be a tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt to announce that YouTube would exclusively stream Friday's matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs for free, and was never about Donaldson buying the actual league, which is still individually owned by its 32 teams as explained in The Independent US and confirmed by Bloomberg. Fans and sports journalists everywhere had a field day, and it undoubtedly put Mr. Beast further in the spotlight for digital media's growing influence in legacy sports.Meanwhile, Donaldson's reputation as a philanthropic figure remained strong, as he announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of fraudsters who conned Erik Bergman, cofounder of Catena Media, out of $1.25 million in crypto. The scam, which began after Bergman donated $1 million to Mr. Beast's Team Water campaign, highlights the risks top influencers face as impersonators create sophisticated social media and messaging hoaxes. Donaldson took to social media to amplify the search for the perpetrators, shining a spotlight on crypto fraud and leveraging his massive global following, as reported by NEXT.io and MaltaCEOs.Not all the headlines were golden: Mr. Beast's data collection practices have attracted scrutiny from the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU), which flagged his YouTube content for potentially collecting children's data without proper parental consent, an alleged violation of federal privacy laws like COPPA. Cybernews notes that his Feastables chocolate bar sweepstakes also drew criticism for insufficient transparency in entry methods and age verification, indicating the regulatory stakes for creators of Donaldson's size, especially with a large child audience.The entrepreneurial engine that is Mr. Beast kept roaring, even as past contestants on his Amazon series Beast Games filed a lawsuit alleging unfair production practices, which put his operations under a microscope, according to AOL. However, Donaldson has yet to publicly address the suit or issue any new statements as of this recording, and there have been no further updates on the matter in the past 24 hours.All told, Donaldson continues to push the boundaries of what an internet creator can do—whether by turning the NFL on its head, hunting down scammers, or navigating the regulatory maze of modern influencer business.

The Buddha said, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense." Ignore that advice, and you might find that you're clouding your vision--that instead of seeing what's really in front of you, you're filtering everything so it fits in with your beliefs. An unwavering, unquestioned belief in anything--a philosophy, an institution, or a person--can lend us strength sometimes, but it can also make us vulnerable. And there are plenty of people out there just waiting to exploit that vulnerability. This story is about two of them, each with a very different MO, and the havoc they wreaked in the lives of the people around them.SourcesThe German newspaper BZ (translated from German to English): Blackmail Sect: Now Former Members Speak Out by Romeo Regenass, Nov. 12, 2008Documentary "Seduced and Blackmailed" by Aldo Gugolz and Romeo RegenassTime: https://time.com/archive/6945942/the-swiss-gigolo-and-the-german-billionaire/NBC News: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna29594154The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/09/bmw-blackmailer-jailedTelegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/5051613/Religious-leader-denies-blackmailing-woman-in-Swiss-gigolo-case.htmlForbes:https://www.forbes.com/2009/03/09/scarbi-klatten-bmw-markets-faces-celebrity-blackmail.htmlThe Standard: https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/gigolo-who-seduced-bmw-heiress-boasted-he-read-women-like-a-map-6824827.htmlFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.

If you've been following along, you know that I recently experienced fraud in my own business checking account — a gut-wrenching ordeal where thousands of dollars disappeared overnight because someone got hold of my routing number. The bank caught it, but the disruption and stress were very real. And I'll be honest: even as someone who spends her life thinking and talking about money, I almost missed the warning signs.Which is why today's conversation is so important. We're heading into the fall and holiday season — peak time for identity theft and online scams. Fraudsters know we're distracted, busy, spending more, and often less vigilant.To help us all stay one step ahead, I've invited back Martha Underwood, founder of Prismm. Martha and her team are on the frontlines of protecting our financial identity and legacy. She's here to share the latest scams to watch out for — from PayPal “micro-deposits,” to spoofed IRS texts, to sophisticated AI voice fraud — and, most importantly, the concrete steps we can take to guard our money, our families, and our peace of mind.Charlotte Cowles on Losing $50k to a Scammer Hosted on Acast.

Sarah wants Susie to see T-Pain with her in Denver, and Susie's up for it, but had to confess she doesn't know any of his songs. We discuss one-hit-wonder band, Devo, why they were misunderstood, why they never had another hit, and how expectations determine how a band deals with only having one hit. We find out the origin story for Sweet Caroline being played at sporting events, why a tragedy caused the ritual to spread, and why Susie is still confused about how the song became interactive. Plus, we learn why Sarah hates "swaying" songs. Susie and Sarah have a sing-a-long with church and camp music. And Susie explains why Keanu Reeves is the most impersonated celebrity of all time, how scammers use fandom to prey upon victims, and why men and women fall for different tricks.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 0:00 - Susie's T-Pain Blind Spot & Overalls Fashion09:58 - The Misunderstood Genius of Devo and One-Hit Wonders22:13 - Unpacking Sweet Caroline and Camp Sing-Alongs39:34 - Why Keanu Reeves is the Top Celebrity Scammer TargetBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandy10 to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein today.Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
