Fraudology is presented by Persona.

Note: This episode is marked explicit due to sensitive topics including child exploitation and human trafficking/modern slavery. This topic is very important, but a little different for Fraudology.

Online fraud-fighters are acutely aware of the financial cost of online/financial fraud to their company or financial institution. Reducing that cost is a main goal of the job. But, how often do we think about collateral crimes that are often either funded by or cause a need to commit fraud or money laundering online?

On today's timely episode, Ian Mitchell returns, along with another integral leader at The Knoble, Terry Schappert to talk about two of the biggest types of fraud-related crimes that have a human cost associated. While these are tough subjects to talk about, there is no doubt that these associated crimes are on the rise. Especially as they relate to online fraud.

Ian & Terry will also share exciting outcomes from the Knoble's recent and rewarding project, "Project: Umbra". It is amazing what can happen when fraud-fighters get together!
