In the newest episode of The Collective Cast Podcast—produced by the Arizona Business Collective—host Justin Teclaw of WaFed Bank leads a powerhouse discussion on safeguarding our community against rising financial threats. Joined by representatives from the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office and Prescott Valley Police Department, along with local CPA David Snyder from Prescott, the panel dives deep into the latest money scams preying on seniors, a group especially vulnerable due to their trust and life savings at stake.

The conversation spotlights current threats like government impersonation scams, where fraudsters pose as officials from the FTC or Social Security Administration, issuing fake security alerts about "crimes" tied to your SSN—leading victims to drain bank accounts or 401(k)s to "protect" their funds. They also unpack grandparent scams, with scammers using social media intel to mimic distressed relatives in "emergencies," demanding urgent wire transfers or gift cards. Other red flags discussed include tech support fraud via bogus pop-up alerts urging calls to hackers who steal data, romance scams building false trust online before extracting cash, sweepstakes hoaxes requiring upfront "fees" for phantom winnings, and crypto investment traps promising quick riches but vanishing with irreversible digital payments.

This eye-opening session equips listeners with practical tips—from verifying caller IDs to enabling fraud alerts—to stay one step ahead. Whether you're a senior, caregiver, or business owner, tune in to empower yourself and protect loved ones.
