About
Nickel & Crime brings you into the heads of financial criminals, so they can’t get into yours.
Take a deep dive into today’s most devious scams, as we expose the psychological tactics and surprising methods used to drain thousands of victims of billions of dollars every year. At a time when financial crime is increasingly sophisticated, we go behind the schemes to understand the often brilliant – and sometimes foolish – crooks’ minds at work, so you can stay alert and avoid becoming their next victim.
In season 3, Nickel & Crime returns with new mind-twisting stories… and something more. We’re also peeking behind the curtain to see how Early Warning helps keep the U.S. financial ecosystem healthy with technology that can help stop these bad actors before they strike.
Launched in 2022, Nickel & Crime is made possible by Early Warning®, a leader in technology that helps protect and advance the financial system, as well as the network operator of Zelle® and PazeSM, a new way to check out online offered by participating banks and credit unions. .
