Episode Details

Florida’s Attorney General is rolling out a bold new crackdown on scam calls and texts, pushing for tougher felony penalties and expanded investigative powers to combat increasingly sophisticated fraud—especially as scammers weaponize AI to impersonate officials and loved ones. The proposed bill targets high-volume scams, fake warrants, and “phone farms” used to blast thousands of messages, while also demanding telecoms authenticate caller IDs and halt illegal campaigns faster. With nearly $10 million recovered for victims this year, the push aims to close loopholes and protect Floridians—so if you get a suspicious call or text, report it immediately and never send money.
