S4E5: Case studies and precautions
Ever had a tradesman turn up out of the blue just in your moment of need? That sounds convenient! Suspiciously convenient. Today Neeraj and Nick are learning from the experiences of others by going through a few scamming case studies. We learn about crooked “mechanics”, shifty psychics, international clairvoyants, mendacious “blackmailers” and a couple of occasions where the victims got away. Our hosts finish up by discussing precautions and policies that may make people more resilient to scams, especially repeat victims.
Were you tempted to help our lost Nigerian astronaut, Major Abacha Tunde, last week just like Nick? Then this episode is probably worth a listen!
