Hood Winked: Surviving the Scam
Loyalty and Lies: The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Inner Circle
Have you ever been scammed by someone you know? I have, and let me tell you, it’s a pain like no other. It’s one thing to get taken for a ride by a stranger, but when it’s a friend, a family member, or a trusted colleague? That cuts deep.
In this episode of Hoodwinked, I’m sharing my own story—a story I wish I didn’t have to tell, but one that I know many of you will relate to. I was duped by someone I thought I could trust, someone who promised me a golden opportunity, only to use my trust against me. The emotional rollercoaster that followed? Disbelief, shame, anger, and a burning desire for justice. It was all-consuming.
But here’s the thing—I’m not just here to vent. I want to help you spot the red flags, avoid the traps, and, most importantly, rebuild after you’ve been burned. Because, trust me, you can come back stronger. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your own judgment or wondering how you could’ve missed the signs, this episode is for you. I’m opening up about my own mistakes and how I’m moving forward, and I hope my story will help you do the same.
So, if you’ve ever felt the sting of betrayal from someone you thought had your back, tune in. Let’s get through this together.
