Published on: 3rd August, 2023

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse highlights 3 fraud stories that you will want to be aware of. -Either for awareness, or possibly for a bit of "fraud nerd" comic relief.

First starting out with why the promised episode of an interview with a "special guest", Karisse's daughter has been replaced with an episode of Fraud News for this week. But, this episode WILL be coming soon to Fraudology, where Karisse's teenager will share her own experiences as a "fraud-fighter's daughter, the best advice her mom has given about internet safety, and she'll answer questions submitted by Fraudology listeners (and some of their kids!).

This week, the news was a mix of terrifying or puzzling revelations about professional cybercrime rings, and a new Visa card that will most likely be attractive to them. But, for the 1st story, which was first shared in the weekly newsletter published by Frank McKenna, of FrankonFraud.com, was enough for Karisse to bring back a popular segment from the past. "What The Fraud?!"

From how Chinese Scammers are hiring creative thinkers to design new scam MOs, to the newest Visa Card marketing itself as a "No KYC Visa card" (Is this Legal? Will it Last?), and a Celebrity Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills is hit with a two-fer: The "old" data breach + financial fraud trick. -You'll hear highlights of each article, along with thoughts, questions, and additional commentary from a fraud expert; She'll also share why these are stories for online fraud-fighters to be aware of.

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!
