Aloha Geckos! I’m back! 💚🦎
Because apparently, the grift never sleeps… 🛏️
There’s a new scam slithering into inboxes—and it’s dressed to impress. 🐍 This one isn’t your usual “Hello Dear Beneficiary” disaster. No, this scam came tailored, fluffed, and flattered… and it even knew my cosplay brand name.
⚠️ Heads up—there’s a new scam making the rounds, and it’s targeting people under the guise of an “exclusive invite” to a Call Her Daddy live broadcast.
I just got one, and I’ll admit it—this one made me blink twice. It was eerily convincing, oddly flattering, and weirdly professional. 🧑🏫
So I’m breaking it down here so nobody else gets bamboozled.
📨 Here’s the Scam Email That Slid Into My Inbox – Having, as the kids say, “Main Character Energy:”
Subject: Exclusive Invite from Alex Cooper: Join ‘Call Her Daddy’ Now!

🧠 Why This One Made Me Think Twice
I’ve seen enough scam emails in my life to wallpaper a friggen house 🏠 with them. Most are full of typos, random capitalization, and vibes that scream “Nigerian Prince Energy.🫅” But this one?
✅ Well-written
✅ Specific to my brand
✅ Used actual things I talk about (hello, “Cositivity”!)
✅ Offered a big paycheck ($4k?? Sir, I ain’t famous.)
✅ Name-dropped Spotify and Alex Cooper for that influencer sparkle ✨
They didn’t just guess. They clearly skimmed my website or social bios and handpicked juicy details to make this scam feel tailored. They speifically touched on my Cositivity section here on this website!
🤖 AI-Powered and Extra Bold
Let’s talk tech:
These scammers aren’t writing this stuff, they’re using AI tools to generate believable, polished emails with scary accuracy.
These scams now come with:
- 💻 AI-generated copy that sounds real
- 🧠 Personalized details from your public pages
- 🪤 A tone that flatters your ego juuuust enough to make you click
👉 Turns out, the real con isn’t at the convention—it’s in your inbox 💌, and it’s powered by AI 🤖.
🛡️ How to Armor Up (Without Needing +5 Wisdom)
Here’s how to protect your creative butt from this nonsense:
- 1️⃣ Don’t let flattery fog your brain
Yes, you’re amazing. No, that doesn’t mean a random Gmail account is offering you $4,000 to talk about cosplay and trauma on Zoom. - 2️⃣ Check the sender’s email
Spoiler: Spotify is not emailing you from a Gmail address that sounds like a fake Hollywood manager. - 3️⃣ Search before you scream
Google a few lines of the email. That’s how I found Candy Keane from Geek Mamas, who documented the exact same scam. It’s like a cosplay con buddy warning you before you glue your fingers together. - 4️⃣ Trust your gut. Then trust your Google.
Something feel off? Don’t click anything. Don’t reply. Ask a friend. Ask the internet. Ask your cat. 🐈 - 5️⃣ Keep your personal info on lock
No ID, no contracts, no banking info—unless you’ve verified the heck out of it.
🧾 And Finally—Let’s Talk About What I Found
Whenever I get an email that feels a little ✨ too ✨ good to be true, I do my homework. And this time? I found a fantastic blog post by Candy Keane from Geek Mamas that called out this exact scam, word-for-word. She also took it way farther than I did!

I’m sharing it now in hopes of raising awareness—because if it hasn’t hit your inbox yet, it very well might.
🧵 TL;DR: Scammers Got Smart, But We’re Smarter
- They’re using AI 🧠
- They’re pretending to be brands we know 🤖
- They’re studying your content and getting creepily specific 👀
- And they’re hoping your excitement will outweigh your skepticism 💸
Don’t fall for it. Protect your brand. And always check twice before you hit reply.
💬 Seen This Scam? Let’s Warn Each Other

Stay fierce, stay safe, and stay skeptical out there. 🛡️✨🦎
