Episode notes

Identity theft affects millions of people every year — but do you really know how it works, or how to protect yourself? This week, we’re joined by Eva Velasquez, CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center, who shares the latest trends in identity crime and what steps you can take if it ever happens to you. 🕵️‍♀️🔐

In Crash Course, we break down identity theft itself: the different types, how it spirals from a single scam, and the practical steps you can take to make yourself harder to impersonate.

Plus, in Watchtower Weekly, we explore how criminals are turning the human voice into the newest attack surface. From AI voice clones to professional “callers,” we unpack why vishing scams are surging — and what shifting global policies could mean for banks, carriers, and consumers. 📞🤖

And of course, we wrap things up with an extra-fishy round of Hack or Hoax?! 🎲🐟🃏
