Tell me what's on your mind. If you've been scammed, will you get your money back? Will you get justice? The answer, unfortunately, is no. While it may be your life savings, the amounts are generally too small and police have such limited resources that they can't help. Your best hope is that your scam was part of a much larger operation that police can get resources to chase. This week we tell you while justice is so elusive and that the best defense is a good offense. Protect yourself.…

Tell me what's on your mind. In the early days of computing, we were afraid that if we pushed one wrong button, we'd lose all our work -- and that frequently happened. Nowadays, the risk isn't so high and total losses are rare, but scammers have figured out how to convince you to push just one button that allows them to steal your money and anything else personal on your computer. We'll tell you about that and about a former TV anchor who was arrested for taking money intended for the poor. Listen at ScamsAndCons.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Support the podcast…
