Scammers are everywhere these days, and it seems like there is only ONE way to deal with them: be a total JERK!

During this weeks video blogpost, I briefly talk about WHY you should develop a no-tolerance policy when it comes to these people, and tell an outrageous true story of one man who had over $9,000 stolen from his bank account through perhaps the most clever phone scam you've ever heard.

What makes it amazing is that the victim was someone who worked in the cybersecurity industry!

The story of this clever phone scam account can be found in greater detail on Brian Krebs' excellent blog in an article titled "When In Doubt: Hang Up, Look Up, & Call Back" by clicking here.

Let me know what you think! Leave a comment below!

Curtis The Mentalist

Curtis Waltermire is an American speaker, mentalist, entertainer, actor, and businessman. He's also a former pastor and Christian minister, who spent many years in Christian ministry in his younger days and taught in a private seminary for a few years. Over the past 15 years, he's been billed as a professional comedy "mentalist, magician, speaker, actor, U.S. Army veteran, grandpa, cool dad and above-average husband," which has been in his signature for years--even before the "grandpa" part. In the last few years he's added "podcaster" and "content creator" to the list. Today he and his wife enjoy life as empty-nesters, traveling, entertaining and speaking at events all throughout the United States in addition to creating online content. He's been married to the same wonderful woman for 32 years, raised two wonderful girls, has 1.5 sons-in-law and by the grace of God maintains his sanity in a culture that seems to be losing it's mind.
