How interesting!
As you were starting out, were you aware of lifestyle / kink camgirls like spookycam, or of unportaled sites like nekkidnerds, that preceded you? Or did the concept come to you whole cloth?
Now I am remembering the bad old days, when people still actually wrote out "weblog" and struggled to get cameras set up... thanks for posting!
Edit: thanks for your replies! It's really illuminating for me, it helps to understand a time that bridged a gap in my own perceptions and what was happening during the 2000s.

A corporation is a "legal person" so that we can sue them easily. We want that.

Great question. Let's see:
Definitely. Here's someone who offers to help random internet strangers for free. Just because they care so much about this issue? Hmmm...
Also a big one. "Con artists are everywhere." Heavy use of Random Capitalization.
Creates urgency and fear.
Yup. "I'm a TV Producer in Los Angeles." Sounds like a legitimization play. How does a TV producer have time to lead a selfless world-wide crusade against con artists?
This is where we start to stumble. This person is not really trying to isolate us, just get us to listen to their podcast.
Hmm... they have a podcast, is that technological? Not in the way this red flag is supposed to work. I say this is another miss.
Nope, none of the classic signs of wire fraud in any of this.
I don't know about anyone else but all I got out of this was a little karma. I don't think that counts. Another nope.
So... in total ... that's like 42% con artist, 58% not con artist, going by red flags.
Sounds more like that distant cousin of con artists -- the podcaster.
Probably safe, but be cautious. If they start asking for money... run.
