Today’s digital world is full of thieves and scammers looking to access your information and use scare tactics to steal your hard-earned money from you and your family. Victims of these fraud scams are often retirees and the elderly, who are so scared that they send thousands and thousands of dollars before realizing what is happening.
To help you protect yourself and loved ones from the seemingly infinite number of cyber criminals out there, we’re chatting with former FBI agent Dave Chaves. Dave investigated some of the biggest scammers in the world, and he remains an expert in his field.
Today, we talk about red flags to watch out for to determine if you’re about to get scammed, what to do if you fall victim to a scam, and how AI is making the scams of tomorrow so much more believable.
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- The common traits of almost all online scammers, including romance and investment scams–and why the IRS will never call you asking for money.
- How the prevalence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has made scams so much worse and harder to recover from.
- What you should and shouldn’t do if a scammer reaches out to you.
- Why email phishing scams have gotten so much more effective and why you now need to be very careful with confirmations from UPS, Amazon, and other businesses.
- Steps you can take to improve the security of your most sensitive accounts right now.
