Scams and hacks are getting more sophisticated every day. From phishing texts and deepfake video calls to fake investment platforms and remote access attacks, itโs getting harder to tell whatโs real and whatโs a trap.
In this episode of The Winnerโs Playbook, Josh and Billy break down the scams theyโve 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 theyโre getting harder to detect, and how scammers use emotion and urgency to hook you in. Plus, theyโll 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 youโve ever received a dodgy email, a weird text from your โbank,โ or been curious about how scammers really operate, this episode will give you clarity, confidence and a few laughs along the way.
