Show Notes
Lincoln residents have lost over $11 million to scammers since 2021, prompting a city-wide crackdown. The police department and city leaders are pushing legislation, such as Senator Mike Jacobsons bill, to combat fraudulent activities. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, targeting vulnerable individuals with convincing cons. Local reactions are strong, with bankers reporting a surge in fraud and the police department expanding their tech unit. Jacobsons bill is nearing final reading, while a bill on spoofed calls has stalled, leading to a focus on federal rules. As the legislative session ends on April 10th, residents are urged to stay vigilant and protect themselves from scams.
