Thanks for all you do!
After I went through being scammed, I was able to find Operation Shamrock and Erin West. I started to listen to Erin West and her guests on her podcast.

Great Podcast! Engaging and educational. Sharing with everyone. We need to increase awareness!
Very engaging podcast! I’m glad Erin is spreading awareness of how common these scams are, that it affects all of us. I’ve been victim of a scam, the scammer someone pretending to be animal control and claiming they found my cat injured on the side of the road and in need of immediate surgery. I lost a few hundred dollars during an already financially difficult time. When your emotions are being manipulated, it’s so difficult to acknowledge the red flags.
