If you thought financial scams only happened to older people, I need you to listen to this episode. Financial scams like identity theft and fraud are happening to everyone and scamming people like you out of a lot of money. Did you know that investing scams were the #1 type of scam last year, and cryptocurrency was at the core of many of these investing scams? As our guest Sean Pyles, host of NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast, said in the intro, “Scammers play on our emotions and make us feel like we’re in a very desperate situation.” Okay, how do you set yourself up to avoid as many scams as possible? Sean shares seriously eye-opening advice in this episode, including why you and your loved ones need a safe word. We also dive into why most financial scams aren’t reported; I give you a hint: it has a lot to do with the role of shame in our relationship with money. I know it’s never fun to talk about financial scams, but honestly, this is a juicy episode you must share with everyone you know. When you’re done listening, head over to the Smart Money podcast and check out their four-part series on financial scams.
