Hey, how are you?

I am good.

How are you doing?

I'm great.

Okay, so before we get into the questions, I'm really curious.

What are the common signs that your boss might be a scammer?

Okay, if your boss is the only one who's allowed to see certain information and is cagey about sharing information that should be known by people, they're a scammer.

If they are...

Pushing boundaries and putting you in situations where you feel like you can't say no for either, you know, doing some type of work that feels weird or off.

I would say that's definitely scammer territory.

If they're suddenly living a lavish life, that doesn't really make sense for how much money they're getting paid.

They're like pulling up in a BMW and...

If there are questions that cannot be answered about their lifestyle or relationships they have at work and that type of thing, it's usually scam territory, I'd say.

Yeah, that makes sense.

And of course, not every scam is as dramatic as embezzling funds.

Sometimes you're just being taken advantage of.

Which brings us to our very first question, read to us by our producer, Alice Wilder.

Hey, Alice.

Hey, Rima.

Could you imagine that scenario?
