Romance Bait & Robocalls: Fighting Back Against Scam with Alex Quilici

Scam calls. Scam texts. Scam everything.

This week on Fraudish, I’m talking with Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail, and let me tell you—we cover it all. From robocalls to text scams to the rise of "romance baiting" (yes, we’re rebranding “pig butchering”), Alex breaks down what’s really going on behind that unknown number blowing up your phone.

We also dig into:

• Why younger people fall for scams more often than you'd think
• Easy ways to protect your privacy (hint: secondary numbers are your friend)
• How scammers are using tech and emotions to trap people
• And yes—safe words aren’t just for kids anymore

If you think you’re too smart to get scammed, you need to hear this. Stay skeptical, stay protected, and maybe don’t answer that next call from “Scottsdale, AZ.”
