Season 21 Episode 62: Social Engineering: New Ways You're Being Scammed

What if you found your dream home online and the person claiming to be the property agent offered you a lease and asked you to wire the money without ever meeting them? Breanna says that’s what she and her family did. Then, meet Kaylee, who says she was scammed by someone pretending to be a Sheriff’s Deputy, and Charlotte, who says she thought she was talking to a customer service agent at her bank only to find out she was scammed out of her savings. Callie and Lara also share their stories of being scammed while trying to find jobs online. Cybersecurity expert James McGibney joins the conversation to explain how these cunning scam artists think and why these scams are so successful. Plus, singer and songwriter Katharine McPhee and her husband David Foster, bring some holiday cheer into the studio and perform a song from their new album, Christmas Songs.
