From Nigerian princes to fake tech support, the internet is a scammer’s paradise — and we’ve all almost fallen for something.

In this episode of Messy Minded, Jess explores the wild, weird world of online scams: how they work, why they work, and the real people behind the cons. We’ll cover the classics — phishing emails, romance frauds, lottery hoaxes — and dig into how these schemes have evolved over time, from laughably bad grammar to highly organized global operations.

Plus, I’ll share my own experiences with scams.

It’s a crash course in digital deception — with just enough paranoia to make you double-check that next email.
