Short Description:
The Scam Shield is a clear-eyed guide to fraud in the age of artificial intelligence, written for anyone with a phone, an email account, or a bank card. Evan Cipher walks readers through the machinery behind modern scams: the psychology that makes careful, intelligent people fall for them; the industrial-scale operations running phishing and romance fraud at volume; and the deepfakes, cloned voices, and AI chatbots now doing the criminals’ work for them.

Book Details:
Somewhere right now, someone is on the phone with a voice that sounds exactly like their grandchild — except it isn’t. It’s an AI clone built from a few seconds of audio, deployed by a criminal an ocean away. This is what fraud looks like now, and the advice you grew up with — watch for bad spelling, be wary of strangers — won’t save you.
This isn’t a book meant to frighten you into hiding your phone in a drawer. It’s a toolkit. Chapter by chapter, it builds a real defence — password habits that hold up, credit freezes that stop identity theft before it starts, conversations worth having with aging parents and teenagers, and a concrete plan for the first hours after money is already gone.
Practical where it counts and honest about how much has changed, The Scam Shield is for anyone who wants to stay ahead of a threat that’s evolving faster than most people realize. The scammers have already updated their playbook. Have you updated yours?
