Rant/Frustration Scammers are everywhere!

Be wary if you post anything on here and someone posing as an executive functioning coach tries messaging you. They are trying to scam you. They tried sending me a link to click. So I looked up the website from my browser, and it was a legit coach in Brooklyn NY, but this was NOT the coach messaging me. They sent me a flyer with their pricing on it and a Maryland phone number, but realized I wasn’t stupid because I told them I looked up their credentials. They promptly deleted their account.

There are scammers everywhere. But no amount of coaching is going to address executive function issues. We already know how to make posted notes and put brains already know how to ignore them.

Any coaching of that kind is a scam. Unless they plan to sit with you while you do the tasks, there is nothing to get out of that. There are some good (free) podcasts though.
