We all know the “get rich quick” scams floating around the internet, but what happens when influential members of our community are selling misinformation and guiding people into bankruptcy? There is no Better Business Bureau for social media-driven businesses, so where are the checks and balances? 

 

This is where fake guru buster, HBCU graduate, and financial advisor JT the Pocket Watcher comes in! Using his platform to break down the misinformation people are selling online, tune in as JT and Tony start naming names and discuss the misleading use of buzzwords, faith, and presentation. 

 

Join the conversation and don’t miss this episode on why we can’t stop the scammers but how we can build awareness as a community. 

 

KEY POINTS:

- The genesis of Pocket Watching with JT

- Why JT examines content solely within the black community

- Religion for-profit red flags 

- Hater versus constructive critic 

- Follow procedures - bad business or bad customer?

 

QUOTABLES:

“What I saw far too often was people just taking the advice of people online on social media and totally destroying whatever little bit of savings that they had.”

“You can't destroy these people, they'll just find somewhere else to go. You can only critique them and hope that they change for the better.”
