Also, Karisse reads a question she received from an online retailer asking for help to solve a "mystery" related to refund fraud. Refund/return fraud & abuse is impacting online retailers at an even greater rate than credit card fraud, and this particular method the retailer is experiencing is especially popular. Karisse will shed light on what these clues mean, how other companies can learn if they're experiencing this issue, and a few tips on what can be done to identify these issues before issuing refunds. 

The Fraudology podcast discusses the "science and study of fraud", particularly in the e-commerce channel. The host, Karisse Hendrick has advised hundreds of the biggest e-commerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line. She brings her experience, expertise, and extensive network of experts to this podcast weekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

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!
