In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde presents the FBI's recent report of a dramatic surge in fraudulent unemployment insurance claims that are being filed using stolen identities - a follow-up to the scam calls discussed in Episode 15, where scammers were spoofing the phone numbers of FBI field offices in West Texas.
In the second segment that contains a trigger warning, an Italian IT expert's girlfriend broke up with him in July 2020, so in February 2021, he paid approximately $12,000 in bitcoin to hire a hitman on the dark web to hurt her.
