  • I love your podcast. The only western country in the world that has used checks the last 25 years is the US. This could not have happened in Europe even when they were still used (rarely) 30 years ago. It is SUPER interesting, but very exotic to hear about! 💖

  • Ep - College Professor Scammed

    Such a heartbreaking episode! The scammers truly didn’t care that they had drained the entire life savings of their victim AND made her quit her job. I’m so glad podcasts like this raise awareness of this devastating problem.

  • Help for Todd Alper?

    Can Mr. Alper create a website and search terms that would at the very least direct Internet traffic, and provide a narrative about who he is and about the scam so that at least some people should be able to figure out that they should not try to work with the “attorney” Todd Alper? That’s what I would do. I haven’t finished listening, so if he does this, I haven’t got there yet.

  • Class Action

    Can there not be a class of persons who have been hacked and tried to get meta to help them with their accounts, a class of plaintiffs to bring legal action against meta for damages to reputation, for business and for other losses? more
