When someone you love gets scammed, the questions can wait. In this milestone 50th episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze celebrates the occasion with a visit to the Minnesota State Fair, reflecting on family, tradition, and the small businesses that make the fair feel like home, before turning to one of the most important conversations of the show: how to actually help someone after they've been taken advantage of online.
Whether it's stolen money, a hijacked social media account, or an impersonation attack, the instinct to ask "why did you fall for that?" only adds shame to an already painful moment. Jen breaks down a clear, practical four-step framework for showing up for the people you care about when a scam has already happened.
