Chris realized that people need help recognizing the dangers and red flags before they step into a trap, not after they’ve been tricked and taken advantage of. The Easy Prey Podcast is the perfect way to reach a broad audience with stories and valuable information in today’s imperfect and sometimes dangerous world.

 

I want to provide a little background behind the launch of the podcast.  I launched WhatIsMyIPAddress.com the Dark Ages of the Internet back in 2000.  Over the years it has grown from my social to a technical issue to a hobby to a side hustle.  In 2014 when I lost my day job it became my full-time work. As the site started to grow, more and more people who are the victims of scams reached out to me for help.  There were the victims of romance scams, identity theft, phishing, lottery scams, and the list goes on. To some the losses were minimal and to others it was their life savings and beyond.  Regardless of the loss, my heart goes out to them. When looking back at the interactions there were plenty of warning signs that were either overlooked or outright ignored.  

 

Many of those losses could have been prevented if they had only known what to be on the watch for. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from experts in various industries and what to bring their knowledge and expertise to you.  You will hear true stories and actionable advice that will help you, your friends and your family from becoming Easy Prey.
