  • Before we start this episode,

  • I want to flag that we recorded most of it before Friday's earthquake in Myanmar.

  • 1,700 people are confirmed to have died.

  • That number is certain to rise.

  • You can hear me talking about that on today's episode of The Intelligence,

  • our daily news podcast.

  • Right, on with the show.

  • Hi, it's Sulin.

  • It's been a couple of months

  • since we released Scam Inc. and we've had an amazing response from listeners.

  • A lot of you have written in to share your story or your expertise.

  • Thank you so much for that.

  • We've received a lot of really great questions too.

  • People want to know what they should do

  • if they think they've been scammed or if someone they know is being scammed.

  • Or whether banks and social media companies should be held more responsible.

  • So we're posting this update now for a couple of reasons.

  • One is to say that we're working on a bonus mailbag episode.

  • I'll do my best to answer your questions about the series.

  • So please email us anything you want to know and do it as soon as you hear this.
