Listen "Avoiding Scams | Pocket Byte #16"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to The Wealth Effect, where we don’t just talk about making money. We talk about keeping it. In this episode, we're diving into the dark side of wealth: scams. Because the truth is, building wealth is only half the battle. The other half? Not losing it. From Ponzi schemes to social media “wealth coaches,” from crypto cons to fake investment platforms, we break down the psychology behind scams and the emotional triggers that make them work, like greed, FOMO, pride, and urgency. You’ll learn how to spot the red flags and protect your money with clarity, caution, and confidence. We’re unpacking 9 of the most common and costly scams and giving you the mental tools to see through the hype and stay in control. Because real wealth isn’t loud, and it definitely isn’t easy. It’s earned, protected, and built smart. Let’s fill your pocket—and protect what’s already in it.
