The AI Scam Wave: Deepfakes, Voice Clones, and Your Bank Account With Robert Siciliano

As wealth transfers across generations, cybercriminals are positioning themselves to intercept it.

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth, host Marc Bautis is joined by Robert Siciliano, one of the nation’s most trusted authorities on cybersecurity, identity theft, and fraud prevention.

Robert is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional, bestselling author, and the creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™. You’ve likely seen him on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, or The Today Show, helping millions understand how cybercriminals think — and how to stay one step ahead of them.

Together, Marc and Robert explore why affluent families are increasingly targeted by fraudsters, how denial and misplaced trust make people vulnerable, and why AI-driven scams like deepfake voices and impersonation are changing the threat landscape entirely.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why “It won’t happen to me” is one of the most dangerous mindsets in cybersecurity — and how denial quietly increases risk.
Why affluent families and older generations are prime targets right now.
How modern scams actually work, including wrong-number texts, romance scams, and long-game trust-building tactics.
What practical steps can be taken to reduce risk immediately.
The role adult children and trusted advisors play in protecting aging parents without taking away independence.
And more!

Tune in for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why situational awareness — not paranoia — is the new baseline for protecting wealth, identity, and family legacy in a digital world.
