This week, we have follow up on a listener-submitted trick for diverting unwanted calls to a different number, including the famous Rickroll hotline, along with a discussion about whether Joe should launch a podcast dedicated entirely to the trials and tribulations of raising backyard chickens. Maria has the story of a journalist who infiltrated a sophisticated North Korean hiring scam that uses fake job interviews, real freelance recruiters, and malware-laced coding tests to steal passwords and cryptocurrency. Dave’s got a viral gas station scam warning involving screws placed in fuel pumps, and why investigators found no evidence that the alleged scheme is actually happening. Joe’s first story is on a new Maryland law that gives banks and credit unions the authority to temporarily pause suspicious transactions in an effort to better protect customers from fraud and financial exploitation. On this week's Catch of the Day, a scammer serves up a blood-curdling tale involving "Dr. Prince Andrew" and a very questionable beverage choice.
