I received a surprisingly convincing new scam involving an interview with the Call Her Daddy podcast. The E-mail is titled Exclusive Invite to Call Her Daddy Live Broadcasting Show. It’s the same old podcast/Facebook scam set-up to try and steal my page, but they have taken it up a notch and actually tailored the message to include my personal details.

While earlier versions of this scam have been a copy and paste sort of message, this one is personalized. They actually read my bio! Unfortunately, they didn’t read any other part of the blog where I warn people about this exact scam.

I reached out to Call Her Daddy through Facebook and their website to let them know about the scam but never heard back from any of them. I also reported the fake Facebook page the scammers had created, and it was eventually removed.

The e-mail comes from Travis Ryan at bookingalexcooper@gmail.com, which is the first clue this is a scam. A real invite would come from the actual Call Her Daddy domain and not Gmail.

Dear Candy Keane,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Travis Ryan, and I represent the Call Her Daddy Live Broadcasting Show. We are deeply impressed by your journey from professional costumier and cosplayer to author and blogger. Your work, especially your insights into “geek mom life” and your children’s book, I’m Going to My First Comic Convention, truly resonates with our audience.

Our show, hosted by Alexandra Cooper, explores a range of topics including sex, relationships, mental health, and personal experiences. Given your unique perspective and experiences, we believe you would bring a valuable and engaging voice to our discussions.

We would be thrilled to have you as a guest for a 1-hour episode on the Call Her Daddy Live Broadcasting Show. As a token of our appreciation, we offer a payment of $3,500 for your participation. Our show is proudly sponsored by Meta, further enhancing the platform we offer.

Episodes are scheduled weekly from Monday to Friday, based on Eastern Standard Time (EST). If you are interested, please let us know, and we will provide further details.

Sponsored by Meta

These guys are really trying now. The Call Her Daddy scammers mention my work history and my book, even including the title. And instead of being sponsored by Nike, they’ve got Meta on board now. And the pay is back up to $3500 which is nice. (if it was real)

I did reply back just to see if it would be the same reply, and yes, same set up. They want me to pick out a time, but then we’ll have to get things set-up first before the big day, and that’s when they walk me through helping them steal my Facebook page.

It all started with the Tony Terry Facebook scam and now they’ve branched out spoofing every popular podcaster they can find.

What is Call Her Daddy?

Call Her Daddy is a popular podcast created and hosted by Alex Cooper. The show originally started in 2018 as a comedic and unfiltered discussion about relationships, sex, and modern dating culture, quickly gaining a large following. It was initially co-hosted by Sofia Franklyn, but after a public dispute in 2020, Cooper became the sole host.

The podcast is known for its candid and sometimes controversial discussions, featuring topics like dating advice, personal anecdotes, and interviews with celebrities. Its raw, humorous, and no-holds-barred approach has resonated with millions of listeners, making Call Her Daddy one of the most successful podcasts globally.

In 2021, Alex Cooper signed an exclusive deal with Spotify, reportedly worth $60 million, further solidifying the podcast’s influence in the digital media landscape. The show continues to evolve, with Cooper exploring a broader range of topics, including mental health and self-improvement, while maintaining the provocative style that made it famous

How to Spot this Scam

Just immediately be suspicious of ANY invitation to be on a podcast that involves your Facebook page. That’s what they are really after.

They all have the same set-up- Exclusive invitation to be on a big podcast, they will pay you thousands for an hour, just pick a time slot and tell them how you want to get paid. Most of the time they tell you they will pay you before the event!

Ohhhhh just one thing- they’ll need to Zoom meet up before the day so you can get all set-up. That’s when they will ask you to screen share and then they have you. They will take over your page and do various nefarious things with it.

They might try and have you pay to get it back. Or maybe you have subscriptions they’d like to keep, so they do generic posts and change the bank account deposit information. Or they could use the page for ads. I’ve seen all three happen!

So don’t get fooled by this scam! Protect your page and click delete.
