The Stark Reality of Financial Scams: Andy Cohen's Eye-Opening Experience

Published on: 25th January, 2024

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this gripping episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick, alongside legal and consulting expert Erin West, delve into the harrowing tale of Andy Cohen's encounter with a sophisticated financial scam. Cohen, a renowned media figure, faced a loss in six-figures to fraudsters employing a potent blend of social engineering, phishing, and a false sense of urgency.

Tune in as we dissect how this incident exposes the critical need for consumer education in the digital age and the gaps in financial institutions' responsibility towards scam victims.

Additionally, we'll explore a shocking "What the Fraud" case, where a NYPD rookie compromised an arrestee's financial security. This episode serves not only as a cautionary tale but also as an urgent call to arms for more public figures to use their influence to combat the rising tide of financial deception by raising awareness and aiding prevention efforts.

Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.
