Keep Scrolling: Beware of Sneaky Online Scams! Venice Pulse Episode 6

In this conversation, Sandy shares her frustrating experience with a scam subscription service called Astroline, which led to unexpected charges and a lengthy cancellation process. Chuck shares a similar online experience he encountered before the discussion transitions to the impact of online scams in general on consumers and the importance of awareness.

Finally, the hosts discuss local Venice news, including continued efforts to sanitize the boardwalk’s restrooms, an appearance at the Venice Skate Park by influencer ISHOWSPEED, plans to film the Baywatch reboot on Venice Beach and a new pop-up pastry shop on Rose Avenue.
