Have you heard of Pig Butchering Scams? Long gone are the days of "Nigerian Princes" seeking our bank info to park their money in exchange for a monetary gift for us. Online scams have become far more sophisticated today, from copycat websites to simple clicks of a random link received via text or email. Senior citizens are among the more vulnerable because of the fast speed of online/technological developments. 

In this episode, Donna sits down with Bryce Kuo, an up-and-coming professional in the field of cybersecurity. He is currently an intern on the IT team at Pioneer Bank. He discusses with Donna some of the various meticulous and discreet online scams on the rise that often result in identity and financial theft, with Seniors being among the primary victims. Listen in for simple and practical ways to protect yourself or loved ones from such threats.
