Published on: 11th April, 2023

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

On today's episode of Fraudology, Karisse sits down with Alan Buck, Head of E-Commerce Fraud, Organized Retail Crime, and Corporate Investigations at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Alan explains how his career path provided him with a new perspective & a proven track record of success to approach his most recent role as the Head of e-commerce fraud for a well-known, omnichannel retail brand in the US.

In this honest conversation about implementing radical changes to an overall fraud strategy, including selecting the right type of technology that will work for you, and not against you. Alan also shares some of the biggest lessons he's learned as an online fraud leader. And while the path to success, both within a fraud department, and within the overall company can feel like a long, difficult road, Alan shares the value he's found in improving communication and building relationships w/ stakeholders & leadership, and why hearing "No" can lead to a better "yes". They also explore the unique paths to success, maximizing proactive fraud prevention beyond payment fraud, and the power of collaboration with peers in the fraud industry.

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!
