Podcast 325 – How to Spot and Stop the Scams Hitting Dunwoody Right Now – Dale Cardwell

People in our community are losing thousands to fake job offers, government grant schemes, and AI voices impersonating family members. Most don't see it coming until it's too late.

Dale Cardwell has spent his whole life protecting people across the Top End of Atlanta. He's lived in this community for 25 years, and after three decades as an investigative journalist exposing fraud and corruption, he built TrustDale and launched his podcast, Trust Issues, specifically to help people avoid getting scammed. He's genuinely invested in making sure his neighbors don't get taken advantage of.

For 25 years in Dunwoody, he's been the guy who digs into what's really going on.
