Show Notes

Brett sits down with Josh, Director of Fraud at LMCU, who shares an inside look at how scams are becoming more sophisticated, and what you can do to protect yourself in an increasingly digital world. From AI-powered scams to fake websites and urgent “fear-based” tactics, Josh explains how fraudsters are using smarter tools and more convincing strategies than ever before. As he puts it, fraud today isn’t slowing down, it is constantly growing and adapting.
