Hear how even the smartest people who should know better are getting caught up in these heart-string heists.
Hear the story of a woman who was duped out of $300,000 by someone seeking to comfort her romantically after her husband of 40 years passed away.

You might think of yourself as a private person, but many of us are unknowingly opening ourselves up to cyber-attacks, scammers, and stalkers.
What are you "giving away" on social media, online, and in your everyday life that could hurt you? Christopher explains what you need to do to keep yourself and your family safe.
