This week on Fraudish I met Dr. Elisabeth Carter, a Criminologist and Forensic Linguist with special interest in  the language of romance fraud, investment fraud and Whatsapp scams. Dr. Carter studies the uses of language at the points where language and the law intersect; specifically the ways in which language is used by fraudsters/scammers in fraudulent communications. She uses her research to improve understandings of fraud and scams, improve outcomes for victims, address victimization, and improve fraud reporting rates.
