When Wolves Come for Your Wallet: How to Identify and Avoid Scams

Scammers are getting smarter—and they’re after your wallet. In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda share real-life experiences of nearly being scammed, walk through the most common fraud schemes in 2025, and give you the red flags you need to watch for.

From fake crypto platforms and Ponzi schemes to phishing texts, tech support pop-ups, charity scams, and even impersonators pretending to be your pastor—it’s all out there. And Americans lost over $10 billion to scams just last year.

Most importantly, Jonathan and Amanda share the practical steps you can take to protect yourself, your loved ones, and especially elderly family members who are often the most vulnerable. Learn how to verify offers, spot suspicious communication, and what to do if you’ve already been targeted.
