About this listen
I Was Scammed: Don’t Be Scammed by Identity Fraud features the different methods that scammers use to steal one’s personal identity, followed by ways to avoid such scams. After a brief introduction to how the scam investigation began after a scam targeting book authors in The Big Con, the book discusses personality identity fraud, which is the root of so many scams.
The book describes the growing identity theft problem, the many data breaches that have occurred, the ways scammers use your personal information, how to protect your identity from theft, and how to repair the damage after a scam. Besides describing the scams, the book provides tips on how to avoid becoming a victim, and what to do if you are.

Story
Cryptocurrency is undoubtedly the buzzword of the century. You can’t help but hear about it; every time you fire up a search engine or a news site on the Internet, there it is. And the one thing you really can’t have avoided seeing is the phenomenal way that some cryptocurrencies are rising in price. Before we dive further into cryptocurrency and how to trade with them, it is important for you to know something - although the prices are rising at a significantly fast rate, it is vital that you look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that they can also drop at a huge rate.

Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims’ every move. We all know today’s criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but that’s just the beginning.

Have you watched the news lately? They can't stop talking about hacking. It is portrayed in movies, shouted about in media headlines, and typically gets a lot of attention. In fact, in the run up to the 2016 US Presidential election, there were allegations made nearly every day that the Russians were influencing the election by hacking into American databases and systems. And who can forget Julian Assange and his infamous WikiLeaks that successfully hacked into hundreds of thousands of emails, and whose actions may have kept Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword. Everyone is talking about it. It's been implemented effectively in a number of industries. Though it's been slow to get moving in the real estate industry, it has taken over certain aspects of the industry and will grow rapidly in the next decade. As a real estate agent, real estate owner, or even just a person looking to buy/rent a new house, we're always looking to get the best price, best tenant, or best house that we can afford. And artificial intelligence is the tool that can work for everyone involved.
