Paperback. A retired engineer. A former realtor. Fifty years of investing experience between them. They still lost $126,000 to a crypto scam in five months. Smart People Get Scammed Too tells the true story of Mike and Mary - a financially savvy couple who were targeted by an organized AI investment fraud operation that used free classes, fake trading platforms, and a sophisticated community to steal their retirement savings. Their paid-off car. Their camper. And nearly their home. This isn't a story about careless people making obvious mistakes. It's a story about how professional scammers use psychology, artificial intelligence, and cryptocurrency to exploit the very qualities that made their victims successful: intelligence, trust, and love for their families. Written by Jeff Kikel, a wealth management professional with over thirty years of experience, this book walks you step by step through: How the scam worked - from the first free class to the day the website disappearedThe 8-step blueprint every AI crypto scam follows (and how to spot it at step one)Why smart, experienced investors are the primary target not in spite of their intelligence, but because of itThe 7 red flags that signal fraud before you lose a dollarA simple retirement income framework that makes you nearly immune to these pitchesDigital self-defense tools you can set up today in 15 minutesExactly what to do if it's already happened to you or someone you loveIn 2024, Americans lost $12.5 billion to fraud. Investment scams were the single largest category. Victims over sixty lost more per incident than any other age group. Behind every statistic is a real person - someone's parent, spouse, or neighbor - who trusted the wrong people. Mike and Mary chose to tell their story publicly so that others wouldn't have to learn the same lesson the hard way. As Mary said: "If it helps one person not get scammed, it was worth it." This book is for retirees who want to protect what they've built. It's for adult children who worry about their parents. And it's for anyone who's ever thought, "It couldn't happen to me." It can. This book makes sure it doesn't. Includes printable Red Flags Quick-Reference Card, Reporting Checklist, Family Conversation Starters, and Digital Security Checklists. This item is printed on demand.

- The 8-step blueprint every AI crypto scam follows (and how to spot it at step one)
- Why smart, experienced investors are the primary target not in spite of their intelligence, but because of it
- The 7 red flags that signal fraud before you lose a dollar
- A simple retirement income framework that makes you nearly immune to these pitches
- Digital self-defense tools you can set up today in 15 minutes
- Exactly what to do if it’s already happened to you or someone you love
Mike and Mary chose to tell their story publicly so that others wouldn’t have to learn the same lesson the hard way.
As Mary said: “If it helps one person not get scammed, it was worth it.”

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
