Welcome back to The Cooper Cast Podcast, the FUN podcast for the MINI motoring community, with host Dale Blankenship and Producer Kodi, who is present… but currently contributing via light snoring in the background.

This episode gets right to the point as Dale lays out real-world advice to help you avoid getting ripped off by the growing number of scammers infiltrating MINI Facebook groups. And we’re not just talking about the obvious, fly-by-night scammers.

We’re talking about:

• Scammers posing as legitimate businesses
• Fake vendors selling parts that don’t exist
• Entire Facebook groups created to trap MINI owners

Dale breaks down how these scams work, what red flags to look for, and how to protect yourself before you become the next victim. The MINI community has always been tight-knit, but unfortunately, that trust is exactly what scammers are exploiting.

And in this episode, we’re not dancing around it—
names are being named, and people are being called out.

Well… Dale is.
Kodi is still asleep.

It’s a no-nonsense, must-listen episode designed to help you stay informed, stay alert, and keep your hard-earned money where it belongs.

Motor safely… and don’t forget to wave! 🚗🐾
