Nine partners with Commonwealth Bank to launch new scams awareness podcast

9Podcasts has partnered with the Commonwealth Bank to launch Anatomy of a Scam, a new weekly podcast series hosted by Deborah Knight that dives deep into the world of scams.

Anatomy of a Scam explores the technology and psychology used by scammers, and by the people working to protect our money and information. Each episode targets a specific aspect of scams in a fascinating and – at times – scary series

The podcast breaks down some of the more prevalent scams to expose their anatomy and explain their inner workings.

Episodes feature experts in cyber security and law enforcement, as well as real scam victims who share their personal experiences in a bid to warn others.

More Australians are falling for the con. Three in five people are either scam victims themselves or know someone who is.

Deborah Knight says “Try as authorities might, we cannot arrest our way out of this scam epidemic, so education is key. Understanding how scammers target us is the first step towards recognising a scam in the wild and taking the necessary steps to stop it in its tracks.”

Nine’s Director of Sales – Total Audio, Ashley Earnshaw, says “Anatomy of a Scam is a perfect example of an ideal brand partnership, leveraging Nine Audio’s core pillars of expertise: News, Sport, Opinion.”

Anatomy of a Scam is available now on all leading podcast platforms. Episodes drop weekly.
