Scams and hacks are getting more sophisticated every day. From phishing texts and deepfake video calls to fake investment platforms and remote access attacks, itโ€™s getting harder to tell whatโ€™s real and whatโ€™s a trap.

In this episode of The Winnerโ€™s Playbook, Josh and Billy break down the scams theyโ€™ve seen firsthand, including stories from clients, friends and even their own families. They cover the most common red flags, from too-good-to-be-true returns to fake tax documents and duplicate accounts on TikTok pretending to be financial advisers.

They also unpack how these scams work, why theyโ€™re getting harder to detect, and how scammers use emotion and urgency to hook you in. Plus, theyโ€™ll give you practical tips to protect your accounts, your identity, and your money using habits like two-factor authentication, strong passwords, banking alerts and safe money transfers.

If youโ€™ve ever received a dodgy email, a weird text from your โ€œbank,โ€ or been curious about how scammers really operate, this episode will give you clarity, confidence and a few laughs along the way.
