Scam Calls and Spoofing Examples

Boomers holding Bitcoin are being targeted by scammers — and most don't know it until it's too late.

In Episode 6 of Bitcoin Boomers, hosts Bob Burnett, Larry Leopard, and Gary Leland sit down with Joe Kelly, CEO of

Unchained Capital, to break down why older Bitcoin holders are disproportionately targeted by scams, what those scams

actually look like, and exactly how to defend yourself. Joe explains what Unchained Capital does, why collaborative custody

is a game-changer for security, and what practical steps any boomer (or anyone) can take right now to stop being an easy

target. Additionally special guest author Terence Michael jumps hops on with some incredible stories of bitcoin theft. If you or someone you love holds Bitcoin and doesn't have a rock-solid security plan, this episode is essential

viewing.
