HELP PLEASE!
Am I about to get scammed? I stumbled upon this service: https://alcoholfreelifestyle.com/
They have a great advertising campaign that really sucked me in. I don't normally watch tiktok or reels, but someone in my FFL group chat sent me a link to something funny. Then I scrolled through the typical bikini chicks and construction stuff that it thinks I will like.
Then this well crafted video/reels add comes up, and it was just really speaking to me with all of the words and thoughts that describe my drinking and my drinking problems. I filled out a form with personal information (name, address, drinking questions, and my salary range). That led to a 20 minute intro phone call today. It is a kind of interview to see if I am a good fit for their services and vice versa. I wound up sharing personal information about my life and my drinking like I would in an AA meeting. The service is some sort of "executive coaching" that has a 90 day curriculum for quitting drinking completely or possibly controlling it. Next up, I have a 45 minute call scheduled for Monday to learn more and I'm sure that's when they will try to sell me their services. I am definitely interested in this type of service, and I'm willing to pay for it. The lady on the call today Chelsie Jamison explained that is mainly online and zoom accountability meetings. She said there is a network and a community. They had some sort of retreat for spring break where a bunch of their clients went somewhere nice; I don't remember where she said they went.
Then it just struck me tonight that this would be a great way to steal someone's identity. They already know a lot about my personal life, but soon they could know a lot more about my finances and probably my billing information and CC number. I haven't looked into any HIIPA compliance with them yet either. This has me worried.
Has anyone had experience with these folks? Are they legit?
Just a little background, I went to rehab for 30 days back in October and I have been trying AA since then. I'm doing a lot better, but AA just doesn't feel like "IT" for me. I don't mind getting "sold" on a service if they are a good provider, but I now see it could be a very effective scam.
Please let me know if anyone has experience with these guys. I have a couple of names from emails they have sent me: Scott Fury, Chelsea Jamison, James Swanwick.
Thank you!
