From viral YouTube videos to their brand-new Fox Nation series, “Scammed: Getting Even,” the duo breaks down the layers of tech-support scams, romance cons, and AI deepfakes that prey on the elderly.

They share the five-year journey that led to 25 arrests in a $65 million Chinese-Indian crime ring.
