Overview
Caroline Calloway's "The Scam" Workshop is a creative workshop hosted by Instagram influencer and writer Caroline Calloway in New York City on August 3rd, 2019.
Background
In December 2018, Instagram writer and influencer Caroline Calloway, who became famous for writing an autobiographical book on Instagram in 2015,[1] announced a creative workshop tour. On December, 20th, Twitter user @Ceilidhann tweeted, "That Instagram influencer I occasionally check in on because she's The Worst is now charging $165 for a 4 hour "seminar" on how to be yourself." (shown below). The tweet gained over 11,900 likes and began a thread of updates regarding the events that unfolded. Some of the event spaces hadn't been booked and the only two seminars that had happened before the tour was cancelled wasn't worth the $165 charged.[3]

It is……………The exact same fucking event as before, but with a different name. The main thing that’s different is that this time I want you to bring a piece of writing to workshop and possibly share with the group" (shown below). The post gained over 2,500 likes in two days. Many commenters supported her decision to try out workshops again while many on Twitter called the tickets too expensive and Calloway too inexperienced to be teaching anyone.
