#2 The Art of Spotting Scams: An Insider's Deep Dive into Deception

In this second episode, I take you on a no-holds-barred journey into the art of deception—how scams, questionable business models, and even legitimate but tricky sales tactics work. Just like the first video, this one is raw, unedited, and straight from the heart. I even had a couple of craft beers during this episode, so it’s just me, relaxed and speaking candidly about the tactics you need to know to protect yourself.

Here’s what I dive into:

👉🏿Door-to-Door Sales Tactics: Legit but tricky strategies that get you to say “yes” when you don’t mean to.

👉🏿The 12 Steps of a Sale: Alluded to as a framework to understand how these steps can manipulate emotions and decisions.

👉🏿Webinar/Recorded Video Funnels: The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways these are designed to lure you in. Also, a mention of how "Law of Attraction" spiritual types are targeted (will go deep on this in future videos).

👉🏿Dropshipping Scams (Amazon FBA, eBay, Shopify): A detailed insider’s look into how scammers create real but highly misleading sales numbers. I share personal experiences from selling treadmills on eBay during C19, how that led me into the world of dropshipping scams, and the problematic business models behind them.

👉🏿Turnkey Business Models: Why they’re often a front for something sketchy, and how scammers use them to make fast cash.

👉🏿The “Greasing the Wheels” Technique: How scammers use even a $1 commitment or a small favor to condition you for a “yes” mindset.

What sets this episode apart? I provide legitimate sales training tips you can use, but I also show how scammers weaponize these techniques to exploit your emotions and greed. You’ll come away not only smarter but also armed with tools to see through the facade—whether it’s a salesperson on your doorstep or a slick online ad.

As always, this episode is about education, not entertainment. Tune in, listen on the go, and level up your scam-spotting skills.

💫 Until next time: Stay vigilant, Stay strong, and Stay scam-proof!
