A Note on Fraud and Impersonation
Effective Date: April 22, 2026
It has come to my attention that scammers are impersonating me and my team online. They are using my name, image, and likeness without authorization to deceive people through social media, email, and paid advertisements. In some cases they are promoting fake courses, books, investment opportunities, or podcast appearances — none of which are affiliated with me or my team in any way.
This is not something I take lightly. The people who follow my work do so because they trust it. Anyone exploiting that trust to cause harm deserves to be stopped, and we are doing everything we can to identify and shut down these accounts when they appear.
Here is what you need to know to protect yourself.
Where my work actually lives
My official social media accounts are:
- Instagram: @arthurcbrooks
- LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/arthur-c-brooks
- Facebook: @ArthurBrooks
- X: @arthurbrooks
- YouTube: @drarthurbrooks
My official website is arthurbrooks.com.
Communications from my team will never come from a public domain like Gmail or Hotmail.
What my team will never do
We will never ask you for payment in exchange for a podcast interview or media appearance. We will never ask for access to your social media accounts. We will never request private financial or personal information through social media or unsolicited email.
If something seems off, trust that instinct
If you receive an offer, message, or advertisement that claims to be from me or my team and something feels wrong, please do the following: check that it is coming from an official account or email address, look for spelling errors or unprofessional presentation, and when in doubt, do not engage. Report the account through the relevant platform's internal reporting tools, or forward the email to contact@arthurbrooks.com so my team can investigate.
I am grateful for the trust you place in this work. I am sorry that bad actors are attempting to misuse it.
