In today's episode of Scam DamNation, host Lillian S. Cauldwell explores the latest email fraud scheme. How do these scammers operate? They hack into a victim’s email account and obtain wiring instructions. By creating a rule in Outlook to bypass the victim and directly reach the banker, they manage to redirect funds to their account.

Think this couldn't happen to you? Think again. This is a disturbingly common tactic among scammers. Tune into today's episode to learn how to safeguard your personal and business banking accounts from email fraud.
