Fraud and scams are on the rise. Last year, Americans lost a record $3.82 billion to investment fraud - an increase of 128% from the previous year. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planners Andy Smith and Isabel Barrow share how to identify the different types of scams, how to keep personal and financial information more secure, and what to do if you or someone you know falls victim to a scam.



Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as hosts of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).

This show is pre-recorded, and any callers are prescreened.
