Patrick recounts how his mother was targeted by a spoofed-phone impersonation/kidnapping scam using a voice that sounded like his sister and a demand for $1,200 for her safe return. &amp;nbsp; Together they discuss why scams overwhelm even savvy people, how shame drives underreporting, and why seniors are targeted due to concentrated wealth. Coughlin outlines today’s scam “anatomy” and describes scam call-center “compounds,” including potential human trafficking. &amp;nbsp; For more from Patrick Coughlin visit: https://scamwise.com/&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Grab Patrick’s book: https://www.darksideoftheboom.com/&amp;nbsp; Protect your business and your peace of mind.
