A heartbreaking story. A growing threat. And a practical framework every family should know before it’s too late.

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis explores the rise of modern financial scams — from romance fraud and investment schemes to AI-generated deepfakes that can mimic the voices and faces of loved ones. Through the real-life story of a woman manipulated out of $1.2 million, Marc explains why today’s scams are more sophisticated, emotional, and dangerous than ever before.

In this episode, you will learn:

How scammers exploit psychological triggers like urgency, trust, and fear.
Why AI-powered deepfakes are creating a new level of financial risk.
The P.R.O.O.F. Framework for spotting and responding to scams.
Simple family protection strategies — including creating a shared family password.
And more!

Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about protecting your finances, your identity, and the people you love in an increasingly digital world.
