It's not just you – the constant texts, calls, emails and DMs from
scammers are invading so many of our lives. And when the scams are
successful, there's often no recourse at all. So how do we protect
ourselves from these schemers?

Host Brittany Luse talks first to Laci Mosley, host of a podcast
called 'Scam Goddess,' about how even a scam queen can become a
victim. Then, Brittany chats with Susan Tompor, money columnist at
the Detroit Free Press, about how these scams work, what's being
done about them and why we all need to stop judging people who've
fallen prey to scams.
