Summary

You think you'd never fall for a scam ... until it happens to you. Financial fraud peaked during the pandemic, and new advances in AI mean it's only gotten more sophisticated since. Tech expert Kim Komando joins us to talk about why scams draw so many people in, how to know if you're being scammed, and what you can do to protect yourself. In Mailbag, we answer questions about refinancing student loans and the difference between an index fund and an ETF. Our money tip of the week: how to teach your kids about money.
