À propos de cet audio

 Let’s get right to it, listeners. The last few days have been wild in Scamland, and as your guide, Scotty—cyber geek, scam sleuth, and digital detective—I'm here to make sure none of you end up the headline in next week’s “How Did This Happen?” news story.

First, it’s crypto chaos out there. On July 9, Bitcoin hit a record high, and right on cue, scammers started blooming like algae in a kiddie pool. Two folks from Greater London were just sentenced for swindling $2.1 million out of at least 65 people. Their weapon of choice? The old crypto investment lure—flashy, quick, and gone before you know it. And buckle up for this one: scammers have been using deepfake videos of President Donald Trump on YouTube Live, showing him at what looks like a NATO press event, urging people to scan a QR code and send Bitcoin with the promise of doubling their haul. If the president starts hawking crypto on YouTube, maybe give your wallet a break.

But the boldness doesn’t end there. The feds exposed a group pretending to be the presidential inaugural committee, using email addresses with teeny misspellings—think “t47lnaugural” instead of “t47inaugural”—to trick people out of over $250,000 in USDT stablecoin. Even MoonPay execs, the supposed crypto pros, got taken for a six-figure ride by this classic email spoofing hustle. Shows you, nobody’s bulletproof.

Then you've got your celebrity impersonators: Richard Lyons, a Vietnam vet from Chicago, sent $10,000 in crypto to someone pretending to be Elon Musk. The only rocket that money’s on is a one-way trip to Scamville.

It’s not just the digital elite; everyday folks are getting hit harder by increasingly sophisticated AI scams. According to experts at the University of Rochester, AI-powered voice cloning can mimic your family or friends so well that even caller ID isn’t safe. They’re calling it vishing and smishing: texts and calls that seem so real you’d bet your Netflix password on it. Pro tip: always double-check by calling the person back on the number you KNOW, and set up a secret code word for family emergencies. Don’t overshare personal info on social media—yes, even your adorable dog’s name can be ammo for scammers.

On the phone front, a “daughter in jail” scam busted in Haverhill saw two men arrested after scaring a couple into handing over cash for a fake emergency. Police just nabbed Saaif Ahmed Didi after a public tipoff, but another scam suspect in Charlestown slipped custody. These crooks are relentless.

Smishing texts are sharper, too. According to CTV News, Janean Compton nearly got scammed by a fake speeding ticket text. AI means perfect grammar, fake links, urgent threats—always hesitate before clicking anything. Like the “Take Five, Ask Two” rule: pause, talk to two trusted people, and resist secrecy.

Remember, identity fraud is massive. Don’t let your parents’ info float around online—use data removal services and freeze credit where you can.
