I would love a better understanding of modern scams and crime in general.

Like what does "money laundering" look like on the ground, how would I know if someone around me was trying to do that?

I've had some random Amazon items show up addressed to me, but I didn't order them, and I think that was part of a scam, but I never fully got my head around how it works.

I hear about various "work from home" jobs actually being scams, but what's going on there? Not just scamming the workers out of their personal money, I mean, like using the workers as the arms and legs of a larger criminal enterprise. What's that all about?

I would watch a show on this, if it had better-than-mythbusters quality of explanations, think more like Connections or Newton's apple.
