Have you ever been duped by an email promising a job or a too-good-to-be-true offer? Join us as we unravel the intricacies of internet and email scams, examining everything from phishing emails to suspicious job offers for remote workers in the Philippines. We recount our personal run-ins with these scams, sharing tales of misleading ads on streaming sites and WhatsApp messages from people pretending to be local contacts. We also discuss how Android devices can help manage the influx of pop-up ads that plague our digital experiences, and take a brief detour to discuss the rescheduled boxing match between Tyson and Jake Paul, underscoring how internet scams and advertising influence our daily lives.
Shifting the focus to the crypto world, we expose how scams have become a primary method of financial fraud, especially targeting older men through romantic deceptions. Hear the gut-wrenching story of one man who lost $140,000 to such a scam. We highlight the regional impact of these scams, pinpointing New South Wales and Victoria in Australia as significant hotspots, and reveal how imposter scams have led to Americans losing a jaw-dropping $10 billion in 2023 alone. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the global scale of scams and learn the red flags to guard against.
