Description

AI scams have gone full Death Star, scaling panic with cloned voices, deepfakes, fake romances, and corporate video-call trickery. Host Emily Laird breaks down how fraud became a factory in 2026, from virtual kidnappings to pig butchering bots with the charm of a Tinder date and the soul of a parking ticket. The fix is gloriously low-tech: slow down, call back, use code words, and never let urgency do your thinking for you.
