Ever wondered how an adrenaline-pumping skydive compares to the heart-stopping moment you realise you've been scammed? Join us as Zeke kicks off with a hilarious tale from his wild weekend that blends birthday fun with the ultimate skydiving adventure. We then shift gears to confront the sobering reality of financial scams in Australia. With a staggering 18.5% increase in reported scams between 2022 and 2023, impacting over 601,000 Aussies and racking up a colossal $22.7 billion in losses, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to stay safe.
We dive deep into the world of job and employment scams, sharing personal stories that reveal just how deceptively these cons are orchestrated. From receiving too-good-to-be-true job offers on WhatsApp to getting duped while selling a PS3 on eBay, we expose the clever tactics scammers use to empty your pockets. Plus, we dish out some fun tips on how to toy with scam callers, inspired by YouTubers who make a sport of exposing these fraudsters. And just to keep things light, we wrap up by comparing the thrill of skydiving to bungee jumping, urging our listeners to take on their own adrenaline-fueled adventures. Don't miss out on this rollercoaster of an episode!
