Millions of Americans get scammed and billions of dollars are lost to fraud every year. On today’s show, I talk to our resident “scam busters,” ABC chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross and ABC consumer reporter Stephanie Zimmerman about the scams you and your family need to be aware of – and resources for keeping yourself safe from fraud. But first, crime writer Patricia Cornwell has sold over 100 million books and is one of the most prolific and successful female authors of our time. So how did tens of millions of dollars of her fortune go missing? She speaks for the first time since her high-stakes court case in an interview with me today. Have you ever been the victim of a scam?
