Fake Homeless people asking for money, Your bank calling you to 'verify' certain information , "apple certification calls" , A far away family member wanting to connect (this happens a lot from down south calls - where someone pretends to be your family member and extract information for their profit - build rapport then extract money)

You could do a dive into various crypto coin rug pulls? I like that topic - and meme coins on the rise you have loads and heaps of people who want unbiased facts about the people holding all their hopes and dreams. You have people who get paid in said crypto to promote it that dont disclose any partnerships and fake coins altogether. Scam city!

Great topic for a YouTube series! Here are a few scam ideas you might explore:
1. Fake "Verified" Checkmark Services – Scammers promise to get you verified on social media platforms for a fee.
2. Influencer DM Scams – Fake brand collabs asking for personal info or payment to "feature" you.
3. "Get Rich Quick" YouTube Courses – People selling expensive courses with unrealistic promises of viral success.
4. Fake Giveaway Scams – Accounts pretending to be big creators hosting fake giveaways to harvest engagement/data.
5. Copyright Claim Scams – Fake companies issuing false copyright strikes to extort money from creators.
