Coming Soon

In this episode of 'Scam Me,' we dive into the history of scams, starting from ancient Greece with Hegestratos' ill-fated insurance fraud, leading up to the modern phenomena of misinformation and online deception. We discuss how easily people can be misled, using the example of a false rumor about Emma Watson. The conversation sheds light on the intentional spread of misinformation, particularly during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. We also explore the potential future where fake online personas and bots could outnumber real people, emphasizing the need for heightened online safety awareness.
