we are convinced it is a scam. >> reporter: schwab denies these claims, saying it tried to warn ruth about the fraud risk, but that ruth was insistent. >> fraud has always been here but it's continuing to bubble up. >> reporter: jill gogel is the vice president of fraud services at the community credit union in dubuque, iowa, where they have an idea how to reduce fraud targeting their 170,000 members. >> more than bubble up now. >> everyday occurrence. >> fire hose. >> some days it feels like that. >> reporter: ten years ago they prevented $300,000 in fraud losses. last year it was 10 million. here every employee from teller to executive gets fraud training annually. >> our first and foremost reason that we do this is we want to protect our members. >> reporter: including how the spot and talk to members. >> we really want our tellers to engage with that member, to

understand what it is they're doing. especially if it's an unusual transaction for them. >> reporter: and the customer gets a little bit annoyed. why are you asking me so many questions. i'm going to another branch. >> they're going to call me on the phone and say i didn't like something felt off. >> reporter: your tellers are empowered to do that? >> 100%. >> reporter: they then alert businesses to watch out for more potential scam victims and reached out to a scam customers on file. banks here work directly with police like corporal isaiah. >> it's a hard pill to swallow for some people. >> reporter: the corporal can sometimes reach a scam victim in a way family or friends cannot. does it happen where just your presence as a detective, just the badge makes somebody go oh? >> that carries a lot of weight if i show up with ticketing.

and supporting evidence that this is not who they say they are. >> paul mendez with the american bankers association, he has testified before congress on financial fraud impact consumers and says you can't just rely on the banks to prevent. >> they would love to be able to do everything they can to stop them from losing their money. but a lot of times in the end, it's their money. >> reporter: for jill gogel, there is still great value in a financial institution that takes customer security personally. you're talking about a corporate mind-set. it's not resources. it's will, correct? >> and i think sometimes we need to remember that maybe taking two extra minutes for one person can be really the difference maker for that one person and make sure they feel safe and secure. >> that 92-year-old victim ruth is now suing schwab, and she is not alone.

hello and thank you so much for watching. i'm shanelle kaul in new york, and here are some of the stories we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." hurricane helene is barreling towards florida. we'll show you the storm's path and how people are preparing. israel and hezbollah move closer to an all-out war, as israel prepares for a possible ground invasion of lebanon. and on the campaign trail, vice president kamala harris lays out her version for the economy. hurricane helene is gathering strength with its sights on the southeastern u.s., expected to bring deadly flooding and damaging winds. cbs' jason allen reports from the florida coast in the path of the storm. >> reporter: in key west, high winds and strong waves pound the shoreline as helene barrels

towards florida's gulf coast. >> i think the likelihood of being able to get out of here and catch a flight back to houston today or tomorrow is not very possible. so we're going let it pass. >> reporter: the powerful storm is threatening to wallop the sunshine state and large portions of the southeast. >> it's projected to leaf up to 12 inches of rainfall and the storm surge could reach 10 to 15 feet in some areas. it's not a matter of whether we're going get effects. it's just a question of how significant those effects will be. >> reporter: in superb, vulnerable residents and their fine feathered friends were evacuated from flood-prone areas. and in crawfordville, businesses and homeowners are boarding up while plywood, generators and gsoline containers are flying off the shelves. >> this one here's got me a little bit more nervous than the others. i mean, for the extent of how wide and vast it is. >> reporter: here in the big bend coastal communiy, the big concern is storm surge. this small fishing community

took a big hit from dahlia in the summer of 2023. now worst case scenarios have surge getting as high here as 20 feet. across the area, authorities are urging and in some ordering residents to evacuate while there is still time. >> i can't jump in my truck and go to pensacola. >> reporter: while in atlanta, heavy rains ahead of helene forced the final two games of a crucial series between the new york mets and the braves to be postponed. jason allen, cbs news, florida. >> and for more nowed on hurricane helene, we're joined by cbs news senior weather producer david parkinson. david, thank you so much for being with us what you expect here? >> two words, rapid intensification. from a category 1 to a category 4 in just 18 hours. here it is category 4 landfall right around 7:00 p.m., 130-mile-an-hour winds. then it makes its way inland. it's a tropical storm by the morning near atlanta. and then it really falls apart and weakens after that. but a tremendous amount of damage is going to come.

first, 10 to 20 feet of storm surge in the big bend. that's unsurviable. but in the tampa bay area, 5 to 8 feet of storm surge. then you've got the wind. 100 to 120 wind right along the landfall area. but 80 to 100 by albany and georgia and 250 miles away in atlanta, 60 to 80-mile-per-hour winds. so well inland you're dealing with a serious wind threat. 12 to 20 inches in upstate south carolina, 9 to 12 in atlanta. this is catastrophic flooding well away from the center. so shanelle, the key know here is you only have several hours left to survive and prepare if you're right along the coast. and well inland you should expect lots of impacts. >> okay, good to know, david. thank you. now to the middle east. the u.s. is part of a group of countries calling for 21-day ceasefire between israel and hezbollah. this as israel is preparing for a ground invasion of lebanon. cbs' imtiaz tyab has more on this from beirut.

>> reporter: the lives of so many here have been shattered so quickly, and the fear now is things are about to get far worse, while addressing troops on the northern border. israel's army chief warned of a potential ground invasion in southern lebanon. in just three days, over 600 have been killed and thousands more wounded here, according to lebanese health officials. "we are strong," she says. "no matter what israel does we will remain strong." according to the u.n., more than 90,000 have fled israel's strikes as hezbollah continues to fire back. this ballistic missile aimed at tel aviv was intercepted. but israel's leaders say their campaign won't end until residents displaced from rocket fire can go home, while hezbollah says it won't stop targeting israel until there is a ceasefire in gaza. >> the idea of going into lebanon on the ground is pretty tricky for them because

hezbollah is preparing for that, and it's what they really want to happen because they feel they can humiliate the israelis, even though it will come at a price. >> reporter: imtiaz tyab, cbs news, beirut. on the campaign trail, the two presidential candidates are talking about a critical issue on the minds of voters, the economy. cbs' skyler henry has more on this from washington. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris arrived at the pittsburgh economic club to lay out her vision for the american economy. >> i have pledged that building a strong middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. >> reporter: harris says her plan involves three key pillars -- lowering cost for american families, investing in innovations and entrepreneurs, and ensuring america leads in future industries, including artificial intelligence. >> the next generation of breakthroughs from advanced batteries to geothermal to advanced nuclear are not just

invented but built here in america by american workers. >> she has plan, she should stop grandstanding and do it. just do it. >> reporter: campaigning near charlotte, north carolina, trump tried to tie harris to president biden's economic record. >> kamala harris is a one-woman economic wrecking ball, and this november the people of north carolina are going to tell her we've had enough. we can't take it anymore. kamala harris, you're fired. get out. you're fired. you did a lousy job as vice president. >> reporter: not on hand for trump's visit, mark robinson, north carolina's embattled republican gubernatorial candidate whose alleged to have posted racist comments on a porn site. so far trump has not pulled his endorsement. robinson tweeted wednesday he is reaching out to the republicans who have stopped supporting him saying now is not the time for intraparty squabbling and nonsense. we have 41 days to make our case. we can't do it without all hands on deck. absentee voting began in north

this is "cbs news roundup." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. the boom in artificial intelligence has high-tech companies scrambling to find sources of power for their massive data centers. and a growing number are turning to nuclear energy. microsoft, for instance, has a plan to restart pennsylvania's three mile island power station. the plant suffered a partial meltdown back in 1979 in the nation's worst commercial nuclear accident. cbs' michael george has more. >> reporter: it was the first step in a nuclear nightmare. march 28, 1979 on the cbs evening news, walter cronkite broke the news to the nation. there was a partial meltdown at the three mile island nuclear plant. >> probably the worst nuclear reactor accident to date. >> reporter: 45 years later, it remains the worst commercial nuclear disaster in u.s. history, damaging the industry for decades. the remaining functional reactor

at the site was last used five years ago. it shut down because it was losing money. the plant's current owner, constellation energy, announced it will spend $1.6 billion to restart that reactor. it's part of a 20-year deal to provide power to microsoft data centers. those centers power the company's growing artificial intelligence programs. constellation says the plant meets the growing demand for clean zero carbon energy and will create thousands of jobs, saying in a statement, this plant was among the safest and most reliable nuclear plants on the grid, and we look forward to bringing it back. >> nuclear power has a great safety record. >> reporter: nuclear energy expert professor anna erickson says demand for energy is exploding, in part due to ai. >> ai requires energy that is 24/7. and the nuclear power is one of the best sources to provide that consistent need for energy. >> reporter: the reactor isn't expected to be online until 2028

>> fired in the end zone. >> reporter: over his 20-year year career, the three-time mvp was known for his cavalier playing style that often led to crushing hits. favre estimates he unknowingly suffered hundreds, if not thousands of concussions. >> i never thought about it. i didn't think that was a concussion. it's hard to even put a number on how many of those i had. >> reporter: parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that gets worse over time and can cause uncontrollable movements. and while it's unclear if the hits favre took led to his diagnosis, there is research that points to a possible connection. according to a 2020 study, suffering a single concussion may increase the likelihood of being diagnosed with parkinson's later in life by 57%. but the 54-year-old favre's relative youth could potentially help his prognosis, so says neuropathologist dr. torstein. >> we know now that the

pathologies are developing in the brain well before you have any symptoms. so really being able to identify folks early on and then hopefully intervene and treat before the symptom develop, i think this is goin to be key. >> reporter: parkinsons is one of the diseases covered by the nfl's landmark concussion settlement from back in 2017 along with als, alzheimer's, and some cases of dementia. as of monday, the settlement website shows just over 1800 former players and their families have been compensated. that is roughly 9% of those
