“Debbie fox was unfortunately very gullible. Being an active world traveler doesn’t make you less gullible. She did do it for a perceived love connection. If her friend asked her to liquidate assets for them I’m sure she would have had no problem saying NO and sticking to it.
In addition...”Read full review »

“Good to keep seniors apprised of the multitude of scammers out there. Sad stories that need to be shared. Some of the victims are just plain old idiots (listen to puppy scam). Some are true victims Just listen and you will be yelling at your device , don’t do it. No wonder this country loves...”Read full review »

“I”m sorry.. I just don’t believe that in this day in time, with so many warnings about scams and frauds, anybody would be dumb enough to fall for this. Gimme a break. If she’s legit, she deserves what she got.”

“Every episode teaches me something. It’s not making me a skeptic but it’s teaching me to be patient, pay attention and to listen to your gut feeling and not allow your emotions to take control.
Each episode is interesting but also I’m learning from the mistakes of others. I wish there wasn’t so...”Read full review »

“an important takeaway from the recent episode about a puppy scam is stop buying pets from breeders! pay the fee at your local pet adoption organization and get a great pet. you will be supporting a local establishment and saving a life.”

“Such a heartbreaking episode! The scammers truly didn’t care that they had drained the entire life savings of their victim AND made her quit her job. I’m so glad podcasts like this raise awareness of this devastating problem.”

“Can Mr. Alper create a website and search terms that would at the very least direct Internet traffic, and provide a narrative about who he is and about the scam so that at least some people should be able to figure out that they should not try to work with the “attorney” Todd Alper? That’s what...”Read full review »

“I can’t get over the host’s voice. Sometimes, his voice sounds artificial. Are we being scammed, too? Lol! I have to pass on this, no matter how interesting it seems.
Edit- it seems there’s multiple hosts through the podcast. I have to say, though, I will not try any other episodes. Meh.”

“I like the topics they cover but they need to cut ties with Frank A. His story is a lie - he was in jail/prison from 16 yrs - 21 yrs and couldn’t have been a fake pilot, doctor or lawyer.
