I don’t have a mixtape, but here’s my second interview on how not to get robbed!

In Pt. 2, I’m interviewing @linamkhan, former FTC commissioner and co-chair of the Mamdani transition team! Can you tell how excited I was? 

This is my first full-length video and you’re going to get all the information you need about the new click to cancel measure and their fight against junk fees! I’ll link the previous interview for your information, too. 

If you live in NYC or know someone who does, this video is for them. And you!

This is where you learn how not to get robbed! 

Sam Levine and the good folks at @hellodcwp are here to help you more easily cancel those pesky subscriptions, among the many ways they’re fighting for a better and more affordable city for New Yorkers!

Share this with your people so they know who to turn to when they don’t want to get scammed. Seriously.

And yes, we did this in the middle of the gym, but my sound edits were pretty good.

DCWP found that Way.com allowed unlicensed garages and parking lots to scam consumers.
