Today’s episode is one you’ll definitely want to listen to — and maybe even share with someone you care about.

I’m joined by Jason Blankenship, Vice President of the Better Business Bureau, and we’re talking about something that affects everyone — scams. They come by phone, by text, by email, and sometimes even right to your doorstep. And they’re getting smarter, slicker, and harder to spot.

We’ll dive into the newest tricks scammers are using to steal your money and your information, and we’ll break down real examples so you’ll know exactly what to look out for. Jason will also share practical steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and even your business from becoming the next target.

From fake bank alerts and tech support scams to those “too good to be true” text messages, this conversation will open your eyes and arm you with knowledge you can use right away.

So before you answer that next unknown call or click that suspicious link — listen to this episode. It might just save you from becoming the next victim.
