In this episode of Not Yo Avg Aunties Podcast, Jo, Ki and Jay expose how scammers have upgraded — and why so many people (young, old, and “should know better”) are still falling for it.

They break down the newest scam trends:

• AI-generated voice calls pretending to be your bank

• Texts and emails that look exactly like legit institutions

• Fake invoices and fake storefronts (yes, even those “too good to be true” Wayfair ads 👀)

• Malicious QR codes at parking meters, restaurants, and stores

• Social-media hustle pages and “coaching courses” that are really upsells in disguise

The Aunties share personal stories — from spoofed bank calls to fraudulent parking payments — and explain why scammers target people who are lonely, stressed, or just moving too fast.

They also give real, practical Auntie-approved tips to keep you and your money safe:

• Never trust unsolicited calls asking you to “verify” anything

• Don’t click random links — especially QR codes in public

• Use passkeys & 2FA instead of passwords

• Check your receipts, subscriptions, and bank statements

• Report scams immediately so others don’t get caught
