Scams are no longer just about dodgy messages or obvious red flags. In this episode, Amy talks to scam investigator Kylee Dennis about the human side of online deception; how trust gets built, why loneliness can make people more vulnerable, and how AI is changing what feels believable online.
From romance scams to voice cloning, this is a timely conversation about manipulation, digital safety and the conversations families need to be having now.
