Adding to the Fraud Story Featured on "Super Pumped"

Published on: 21st April, 2022

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

A specific fraud ring from several years ago was featured on the recent docuseries about the controversial former CEO of Uber, Travis Kalanick titled "Super Pumped" (Showtime). Because it's fairly uncommon for fraud to play a part in storytelling about the tech world, Karisse had to talk about it. Also, she knows a lot more details about the fraud attack mentioned than the television writers did.

What did the show get right, and what didn't they know enough about? How was this specific type of fraud so challenging for apps to identify back then? What lessons were learned by that team that helped reduce the fraud problem while playing by the rules of the app store? And why does Karisse feel OK sharing this information about a specific company? -These will all be answered.

After talking about this story, Karisse answers a few recent listener questions.

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.

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!
