This week’s podcast is about the true life story of Axton Betz-Hamilton whose personal identity was stolen. As she got older and became an expert in the subject of identity theft, she discovered who had stolen her identify and was forever changed.

Have you listened to our Podcast of the Week - Money Tree? What was your reaction when Axton found the person who stole her identity? Mine in emojis are - 😨😱😱🤯!!!

I can't wait to hear your reactions on Saturday morning!

🙋‍♀️ Good morning Podcast club members! Friendly reminder that we have our call at 9am this morning. Hope you can join and talk about Money Tree!

Hi everyone! FYI - we didn't have a big group at the call today so we decided to reschedule the meeting to next Thursday, at the regular time at 6:30-7:30pm. This means you all have more time to listen Criminal! Have a great weekend!

Hi Podcast Club Members – have you finished listening to the Criminal – Money Tree episode? Axton used a lot of expressions and idioms when she was telling her story. Do you know what they mean?🧐 How about testing your knowledge by playing this “Match it” game!

I’ve answered the first one.

Answers will be revealed during our podcast club meeting tomorrow, Thursday at 6:30pm international time😊

👋 Happening tonight! Hope to talk to you all!

Podcast Club Meeting happening in a few minutes! 😉

Happy new week everyone and a belated thank you to everyone who joined the Podcast club meeting last Thursday. The shocking American identity theft story in the podcast “Criminal – Money Tree” led club members to discuss growing cyber crime and fraudulent cases on facebook, whatsapp, telegram and other social media platforms. Sadly this is not just a problem in the US, it is also growing problem in Ethiopia. From our talk last week, I hope, club members that you start reading up about this problem and look for ways to protect yourselves!

If you want to chat more about the podcast and related topics, join the chat group and let’s keep the conversation going - https://t.me/ASEPodcastClub_MembersChatGrp

For now, I’m sharing the answers to last week’s Match It! game. Were your answers correct? How did you do?

Have a great week everyone!
