About this listen

 In this episode of Scam DamNation, host Lillian Cauldwell spotlights a heartbreaking article from Moneywise about a Houston elder scam involving an elderly man who lost $500,000 in a sophisticated con. He had previously received a letter from the IRS alerting him to identity theft—so when a caller claiming to be from the Vietnamese embassy contacted him, he didn’t question it and transferred his savings. Only later did he discover the call was a fraud. Haunted by sleepless nights, his daughter launched a GoFundMe campaign, raising enough to help him live modestly—and safeguard him from future scams.
