The Deadly Consequences Of Social Engineering Scams

In this episode, the hosts discuss a news article about the shooting of an Uber driver in Ohio and the scam surrounding it. The scam involved social engineering tactics targeting, William J. Brock, an elderly man, convincing him to hand over $12,000 to, Lo-Letha Hall, an Uber driver who was actually an innocent bystander. Lo-Letha was shot by William, resulting in her death. 

The hosts emphasize the need to educate the elderly about these types of scams and the importance of having a code word or phrase to verify the authenticity of phone calls or messages. They also discuss the potential future risks of AI-generated voice and video impersonations in scams.
