3. Update On Amy's Sara Evans' Scam

Spotlight on Scams in the Podcasting World Bobby updates listeners on a concerning scam involving Amy and Sara Evans. Amy was approached to appear on a seemingly legitimate podcast hosted by Sara Evans, a well-known country star. However, red flags emerged indicating potential fraudulent intentions.

Details of the Scam:

• Unusual Honorarium Offer: Amy was promised a $2,000 honorarium, which is atypical as most podcasts do not pay guests, especially for individual episodes.
  • [Timestamp: 45:30] “Podcasts 99.9% of the time do not pay for guests. Secondly, nobody booking anything from America to America is going to offer an honorarium for $2k USD.”
• Suspicious Scheduling: The proposed interview dates spanned from April 5th to April 26th, with multiple episodes per week, adding to the skepticism.
• Identity Verification: The name "Craig Dunn" was used, a common name unless verified, raising doubts about the legitimacy of the offer.

Bobby's Advice:

• Due Diligence: He emphasizes the importance of verifying the authenticity of podcast invitations, especially those that offer monetary compensation.
• Protecting Personal Information: Cautioning against sharing personal details without confirming the identity and credibility of the host.

Notable Quote:

• Bobby Bones: “If you’re just not enjoying it because it’s not going well, that’s different than if, yeah, I just don’t like doing it anymore.”

Conclusion: Bobby advises listeners to remain vigilant against such scams, encouraging them to verify podcast credentials and approach unsolicited offers with skepticism to protect themselves from potential fraud.
