Hi, Kim Commando here. Well, first up, we have your digital life hack. And after that, I'm going to play a call for my weekend national radio show. Do you remember the Truman Show? Jim Carrey's living his whole life on camera and has no idea. Well, there's a scam that works the same way. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. AI is here, and companies using it are getting ahead.
What is the Truman Show scam and how does it work?
Download the free guide, Demystifying AI, at netsuite.com slash Kim. Here's how it starts. You get a random text with a hot stock tip and a link to a telegram or WhatsApp group. You click and suddenly you're in your own Truman Show. Investment experts post daily tips. Other members brag about big wins. Everyone's supportive and excited. Here's the twist. They're all bots, every single one. They spend weeks gaining your trust until you're convinced to send money, then gone, all of it. The whole production was designed for one purpose, to make you feel comfortable enough to hand over your cash. Real investment opportunities don't arrive by random text, and they don't happen on WhatsApp. If you don't know what's happening with AI, you will be left tech behind.
That's just the way life is. Get my free newsletter at GetKim.com. Next up, a call from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show. Enjoy! Every business is asking the same question.

How do scammers gain your trust in online groups?

Hi there. So I am so thrilled to be on the show. You are not only fun to listen to, but also perform a great service, and I just thank you for that. So I'm a faith community nurse, and our team got a small grant to put a nurse in a senior apartment complex a few hours a month and bring in some different kinds of services. Like tonight, we've got some medical students that are going to cook with them and such. And I am hearing stories, and I know they're getting the calls because I'm getting them, where they're clicking on things they shouldn't click on, like in texts, and they are getting these AI calls where people are posing as Medicare or Social Security officials.
It's horrible. It's horrible. Even phone calls pretending to be their grandchildren.
Yes, yes. And we want to bring somebody in to talk to them about it, somebody that's very knowledgeable. And the FBI came some years back and did a class for our entire community for kids. But I don't think they're doing that anymore because they haven't been responding to my request. And I'm just wondering where we might find someone who could come in as a speaker to speak with these senior citizens.
Well, it's a great thing that you're doing because I've been getting so many phone calls, so many emails from people that are just getting scammed primarily, you know why? Because they're lonely.
What should you know about AI's role in modern scams?
Yeah, yeah, and trusting. Yes, and somebody reaches out to them on Facebook to say, oh, you know, you look like such a nice person, and then they strike up a conversation, and then all of a sudden they're sliding into their DMs with something else and saying, let's go into WhatsApp, and then there's the romance scams.
