Beyond Connected [Ep. 13] Crypto Scammed: Joe’s $300K Loss and What You Can Learn

Welcome back to Beyond Connected! Thanks for listening in, and if you like what you hear, come back every Wednesday for a new episode.

Many of us assume we’d never fall for a financial scam, but modern scammers are master manipulators — and they know exactly how to prey on emotion. In this episode, I sat down with Joe Allen, a disabled man from Connecticut who lost over $300,000 to a cruel cryptocurrency investment scheme. Joe was stuck at home and out of work when he received a text offering “exclusive access” to a crypto opportunity. The scammers didn’t just trick him — they targeted him over and over, knowing he was vulnerable. His story is heartbreaking, and unfortunately, it’s becoming all too common.

We’re sharing this episode in hopes that it will protect others from falling into similar traps. Stick around till the end for my top tips on how to spot the red flags — and what you can do to safeguard yourself and your loved ones.
