Identity theft affects millions of people every year — but do you really know how it works, or how to protect yourself? This week, we’re joined by Eva Velasquez, CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center, who shares the latest trends in identity crime and what steps you can take if it ever happens to you. 🕵️♀️🔐
In Crash Course, we break down identity theft itself: the different types, how it spirals from a single scam, and the practical steps you can take to make yourself harder to impersonate.
Plus, in Watchtower Weekly, we explore how criminals are turning the human voice into the newest attack surface. From AI voice clones to professional “callers,” we unpack why vishing scams are surging — and what shifting global policies could mean for banks, carriers, and consumers. 📞🤖
And of course, we wrap things up with an extra-fishy round of Hack or Hoax?! 🎲🐟🃏

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
