Gold bar scams are becoming more common than many people realize, and they can target victims of any age. In this episode of The Protectors Podcast, Mike and Mark speak with Tallie Stubbs, an anti-money laundering compliance officer with APMEX, Inc., and Ben Soldat of Grand Rapids Coins in Rockford, Michigan. Tallie shares her insights from the compliance and investigative sides, including how these scams unfold, what warning signs to watch for, and how awareness and patience can help people recognize the danger before they become victims. Ben also offers a valuable perspective from inside the coin and precious metals business, including how he helped prevent a victim from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It is a timely conversation about prevention, awareness, and the warning signs that can help protect people before the money is gone.
