Here on the Scammercast, we talk a lot about how to prevent scams and fraud from occurring in the first place. But, even very smart, savvy people can be victimized by the scammers. In the area of cybersecurity, this is particularly true. The cyber criminals are always changing their tactics to breach as many systems as possible so they can steal information which leads to money. Our guest today has a fascinating story to tell.

He is a highly sought-after expert on cybersecurity and has appeared on all of the major networks as well as in the Wall Steet Journal, Forbes, New York Times, and the list goes on.

He has also been a victim of multiple hackings and has detailed them in his wonderful book, HACKED AGAIN: IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE EVEN A CYBERSECURITY EXPERT, which we will talk a lot about today inside this episode of The Scammercast, on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network!

We’ve spoken many times here on the Scammercast about the crucial role that emotions play in scams and frauds. Emotions overpower and send offline your thinking brain, where your trusty “scam detector” lives.

We have one entire episode devoted to the importance of emotions (plug the 5 FLAGS episode), and today we’re going to go deeper with Marti DeLiema of the Stanford Longevity Research Institute as she tells us about the research she’s been conducting that sheds light on how scammers get reasonable and intelligent people to fall prey to scammers. You won’t want to miss this episode of The Scammercast.

Cybersecurity continues to be a hot topic in the United States and, in fact, around the world. We have witnessed numerous data breaches, malware attacks, and now the latest trend, ransomware — holding a computer system hostage until a payment is made. It seems that data breaches are almost inevitable. If you become a target, it becomes simply a question of when.

So, how do we keep ourselves and our older adult parents and loved ones from becoming a target? We are joined today by Matthew Herren, an expert in cybersecurity to help us look into this topic further. We guarantee that some of this thoughts and perspective will make you stop and think the next time you turn on your computer.

Telecommuting. Working remotely. It’s becoming the future. Working from home is something that many workplaces not only utilize but dangle to more and more people to provide convenience and what traditionally becomes a large benefit in a work package. Everyone’s doing it, right?

Well, so are the SCAMMERS! “You too can earn a living from home in your pajamas!” While there MAY be a company out there that’s offering it legitimately, numbers show that often – “what is too good to be true IS often too good to be true” – is just that. We visit with Western Union’s Jessica Warren, who’s ready to detail everything you think you know and more inside THIS episode of  Scammercast, on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network!

When we say the words, Elder Financial Exploitation, what do YOU think of? We all know it’s wrong. We all probably know someone that’s been a victim of it, but what “happens” or can happen to those that perpetrate it?

Inside this episode of the Scammercast, we visit with Prosecutor Brendan Kelly, State’s Attorney, St. Clair County, to detail what awaits for those that prey on our elders via elder financial exploitation. It’s essential knowledge, and only from The Scammercast, on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network.
