If you're an adult content creator, getting scammed isn't just about losing money. Scammers can come after your content, your time, your accounts, your privacy, and even your safety.And unfortunately, I've learned some of these lessons the hard way.In this podcast episode of Creators Spicy Tea, we're breaking down some of the most common scams adult creators can run into, how these scams actually play out, the red flags I've learned to watch for, and what you can do to make yourself a much harder target.We're talking about buyers who promise to pay after receiving content, fake payments and screenshots, wishlist scams, sugar scams, photo collectors disguised as buyers, custom content time wasters, you name it.I'm also sharing some of my own experiences getting scammed and the policies I've changed because of those experiences, including why payment comes before content or sessions, how I handle buyers requesting additional photos or verification, and how I keep custom planning conversations from turning into hours of unpaid labor.Finally, we're talking about what to do if you've already been scammed: documenting everything, saving screenshots, blocking and blacklisting accounts, warning other creators, reporting scams within trusted creator communities, and changing your policies so the same scam is harder to pull twice.Scammers change their tactics constantly. Learning the warning signs before you're staring at a suspicious payment, message, link, or buyer can save you a whole lot of money, time, content, and stress.📖 OTHER RESOURCES- Creators Spicy Tea Patreon: https://patreon.com/CreatorsSpicyTea- r/Creators_Spicy_Tea: https://www.reddit.com/r/Creators_spicy_tea- Creators Resource Chats Discord Server: - https://discord.gg/e2RSdSTzUd
