Looking Back on 2024 Fraud Events to Prepare for the New Year

Published on: 9th January, 2025

Fraudology is presented by Persona.

In the first solo episode of 2025, Fraudology Podcast host Karisse Hendrick delivers a comprehensive overview of the fraud landscape, offering listeners a roadmap for the challenges that lie ahead. Hendrick shares insights from her collaboration with fraud experts Frank McKenna and Mary Ann Miller on their annual fraud predictions, revealing alarming trends in scams, data breaches, and AI-enabled fraud.

The episode highlights how 2024 saw a staggering $1.3 trillion transfer of wealth to criminals through scams, affecting 3 billion people weekly. Karisse delves into the explosion of AI and deep fake technologies in fraud, the rise of "glitch culture," and the reluctant efforts of social media platforms to combat criminal activity. The discussion takes an inspiring turn as Hendrick explores Binance's innovative anti-scam measures, including proactive alerts, personal interventions, and a novel "24 Hour Safety Net" approach.

These strategies offer a glimmer of hope and practical examples for other organizations looking to enhance their fraud prevention efforts. Tune in to gain valuable insights and arm yourself with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex world of fraud in 2025 and beyond.

About the Podcast

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick
Join Fraud Fighter Karisse Hendrick twice a week for deep dive interviews and weekly fraud news.
If you work in online fraud prevention, chances are you've caught the "bug". The bug that makes you passionate about identifying & preventing cybercriminals from getting away with stealing from your company, or your client's companies. Most people who have made cyber-fraud their career have the perfect balance of analytical and social skills, a strong sense of justice and the curiosity that will drive you to go down every path of information until you "crack the case".

Just like sociology is the study of social behavior, and psychology is the study of human behavior, Fraudology is the science and study of fraud.

On the Fraudology podcast, long-time online fraud expert, Karisse Hendrick will dive into all areas of Fraudology from the perspective of a fraud-fighter. With guests ranging from former cybercriminals to fraud-fighters at Fortune 500 companies to law enforcement and others, you will no doubt be entertained, while learning a lot about fraud & other forms of abuse prevention!
