SLAM, scam, thank you ma’am.

This podcast episode synopsis highlights recent social engineering and phishing trends: a phishing-defense framework (SLAM) for evaluating suspicious emails, industry pressure that could expand liability for platforms and intermediaries, a nationwide $8.5M vacation rental fraud using fake listings and double bookings, and anecdotal scam examples shared by users. The content is informational and aimed at awareness rather than providing technical indicators or in-depth forensic analysis.
