What The Finance Mamamia

As the world shifts more and more to online banking and shopping, fuelled even more so by the pandemic, there are more opportunities for people to fall victim to scams.  The reality is that it’s not just older, non-tech-savvy people being targeted.  More and more younger people are being taken advantage of too.
In this bonus episode Melissa Browne will talk about the most common scams out there and the top cyber security tips to keep your money secure in an online world.
