In the latest episode of Scam Dam Nation, host Lillian Cauldwell explores the necessary defenses against scammers, whether encountered through phone, text, video, or chat. She probes why we let strangers bypass our common sense and street smarts, compelling us to hand over personal and financial details to people we've just met or never heard of. She questions our naivety in trusting that strangers have our best interests at heart and examines what makes us vulnerable to such invasions of our privacy, leading to the loss of our hard-earned money.

The discussion acknowledges that while older individuals are common targets, professionals are not exempt from these scams. Cauldwell challenges the notion that we might be living in a modern 'wild west', where instead of facing physical threats, we are seduced by flattering words into relinquishing personal and business information.  She seeks to explain how we are inadvertently aiding in the breakdown of our defenses.
