Scams are no longer rare or obvious. They are sophisticated, targeted, and increasingly hard to spot.
In this episode, Ana speaks with Wadzi Nenzou, a scams awareness educator with more than 18 years of experience across financial planning, superannuation, banking, investments and compliance. Wadzi shares what she has seen firsthand and why she is so passionate about helping people build wealth without losing it to investment scams.
They unpack the biggest misconceptions about who gets scammed, why younger and digitally savvy people are just as vulnerable, and how certain life moments like starting to invest or experiencing financial stress can increase your risk. Wadzi also walks through how a modern investment scam typically unfolds, from first contact to money being transferred.
Most importantly, this episode gives you a practical checklist to protect yourself and your loved ones. From simple non negotiables before investing or sending money, to what to do immediately if you realise you have been scammed, this is a conversation designed to help you stay alert and stay protected.
