Scams are costing Australians billions each year, and traders are among the most attractive targets. As soon as money is involved, scammers follow.
In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford is joined by cyber and financial investigations specialist Jacob Griffiths to unpack how modern scams actually operate. These are no longer obvious emails or clumsy phone calls. Today’s scams are personalised, sophisticated, and increasingly powered by technology designed to exploit human behaviour.
You’ll learn why intelligent, capable people still get caught, how emotional pressure plays a bigger role than most realise, and what practical steps traders can take to strengthen their online and financial safety. Jacob also explains how scammers target families, older relatives, and time-poor professionals, and how to build simple safeguards without creating fear or overwhelm.
If you trade, invest, or manage money for your household, this episode will change how you think about digital safety and risk in the Australian sharemarket.
