By Nicole Duff

Scammers don't need to be smart. They just need you distracted.

This straight-talking guide cuts through the noise to show you exactly how modern scams work—and how to shut them down before they reach your wallet. From deepfake romance bait to fake job offers, tech support cons to QR code traps, this book lays out the playbook scammers use every day to trick smart people into doing dumb things.

Inside, you'll learn:

  • The top scams targeting adults and older adults right now
  • How AI is changing the scam game
  • The emotional and psychological tactics scammers count on
  • Real-world red flags to watch for in emails, texts, calls, and DMs
  • Exactly what to do (and what not to do) if a scam targets you
  • Tools, websites, and steps to protect yourself and report fraud fast
  • You don't need to memorize every scam—you just need to build a few habits that stop them cold.

    Whether you're protecting yourself, your parents, or your community, this book gives you the clarity and confidence to stop scams in their tracks. No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just the facts, the tactics, and the tools that work.
