Ann's Victim Story

A single mom of three, on the verge of losing her home, turned to social media for support — and instead found scammers posing as “helpers” with fake investment opportunities.

What started as hope turned into hard-earned money disappearing fast.


In the latest Joe Knows Better podcast, she bravely shares:

• How the scam started

• Why she kept trusting the scammers

• The red flags she missed

• And what she’s doing now to fight back


She’s telling her story so you won’t become the next victim.
