Braxton sits down with Sheriff Ricky Buchanan to break down how today’s scammers spoof legit numbers (even banks and sheriff’s offices), pressure victims to stay on the line, and demand payment via gift cards or cash drops. Hear real cases—from fake jury-duty warrants to an “FBI” impersonator who walked away with $25,000—and learn the non-negotiables: law enforcement will never take payment over the phone, never text for your ID or bank info, and will meet in person for real issues. Get practical tips to protect your family, including verification questions, call-back protocols, and a simple family code word to beat AI voice clones.
