I Almost Fell For a Fake Podcast Scam

Get exclusive videos & early access on my Patreon: http://patreon.com/RyanGeorge A fake celebrity podcast wanted to interview me. Mostly about my Facebook login. I've been getting podcast invitations from people claiming to represent Steve-O, Chelsea Handler and Adam Carolla. Very flattering. Very specific to my work. Very interested in getting access to my Facebook page. So I replied to one and got on a Zoom call with Adam Carolla's supposed producer, who had the minor disadvantage of knowing nothing about Adam Carolla. Let's look at the fake podcast scam targeting creators and celebrities, how these invitations turn into Facebook account theft, and why personalized scam emails are getting annoyingly convincing. I preferred it when criminals didn't do their homework.
