Phishing today isn't about hacking your computer it's about hacking you. In The Geek and The Detective, Amy Lynn and Detective Derrick Stevens break down how scammers use fake profiles, urgent messages, deepfake voices, and emotional pressure to trick people into handing over passwords, money, and access. From charity scams to "your account will be deleted" threats, we show how modern con artists weaponize urgency and familiarity to slip past your defenses. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, verify suspicious messages, unmask hidden links, and protect yourself with simple habits like MFA and cautious clicking.
