Laci welcomes Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Kiran Deol (Kiran Deol: Joysuck, Advanced Chemistry) to the show! Together, they discuss how a scammer from Lithuania stole over $120 million from tech giants using a taste of their own medicine: phishing emails. Evaldas Rimasauskas created fake invoices that Silicon Valley paid willy-nilly. Plus, in Scammer of the Week, “Loveboat Lolita” scammed $1.5 million out of four elderly women by posing as a man. Stay schemin’!
