## Resource

Scammers are ripping people off left and right—no matter how much the government tries to stop them. Victims from all walks of life, young and old, are losing thousands to millions, with some even contemplating suicide. Worse? You might owe taxes on your losses thanks to a Trump-era law that stripped scam victims of tax deductions. Banks are freezing accounts and demanding repayment, blaming the victim—even when they were tricked. Meanwhile, countries like the UK and EU hold banks accountable and have real-time fraud centers; we’re still lagging behind. Crypto’s rise has made scams harder to track. But there’s hope: new U.S. task forces and bills aim to crack down and help victims recover what’s been stolen. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
