Fraudology is presented by Persona.

Karisse Hendrick sits down with Marc Evans, a seasoned detective specializing in financial crimes and fraud. As the founder of FraudHero, Marc brings a wealth of knowledge from his 13 years in law enforcement, including six years dedicated to investigating financial crimes. The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of fraud, with a particular focus on emerging scams that are devastating businesses and individuals alike.

Marc sheds light on two alarming trends: bank courier scams and employee scams. In bank courier scams, fraudsters impersonate bank officials, convincing victims to hand over their credit cards under the guise of protecting them from fraud. The employee scam, or "corporate mule scam," involves manipulating employees into transferring large sums of money out of their company, often resulting in significant financial losses for businesses. These scams highlight the increasing sophistication of fraudsters who combine social engineering tactics with in-person interactions to execute their schemes.

The episode emphasizes the critical importance of fraud awareness and education. Marc stresses the need for businesses to train their employees on current fraud tactics, not just outdated schemes. He also discusses the value of networking among fraud investigators, law enforcement, and financial institutions to stay ahead of evolving fraud trends.
