In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick provides a comprehensive debrief following her long-awaited conversation with Kathy Stokes, the Senior Director of Fraud Prevention for AARP. Kathy shares her highlights and lowlights from leading the Fraud Watch Network, cutting through the general consumer education hype to provide practical insights for fraud and payments professionals.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of fraud victimization in commerce, detailing how organizations like AARP are now identifying systemic vulnerabilities by monitoring "invisible" behaviors, such as how society naturally blames the victims of these crimes. Kathy provides an inside look at why the industry must move away from simply playing "whack-a-mole" at the point of transaction, moving toward shared intelligence to avoid the massive financial and emotional liabilities of sophisticated networks.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The Private-Public Intelligence Threshold: How the National Elder Fraud Coordination Center (NEFCC/NEFSI) is bringing enterprise giants like Amazon, Google, and Walmart together with law enforcement to drastically turn isolated smaller incidents into massive, prosecutable organized crime cases.The Complexity of Systemic Collaboration: Real-world examples of how major financial institutions are shifting their legal stances from hiding data due to perceived risk, to realizing that there is a far greater risk if they do not share fraud data across networks.The Human Element vs. The Script: Why senior fraud leadership and empathetic human support systems cannot be replaced by generic checklists, as the critical domain expertise and emotional recovery required to turn victims into survivors is found only through dedicated peer communities.Additionally, Kathy dives into the latest AARP initiatives, revealing the staggering reality of a $200 billion a year crime loss that impacts countless demographics across the United States. We break down the production behind AARP's Fraud Wars YouTube series, a historic project designed to humanize the impact of fraud and challenge the long-standing apathy within enterprise spaces. Finally, we examine how an organization's willingness to block scams depends almost entirely on shifting corporate mindsets away from accepting multi-million dollar losses as just an "acceptable level of risk."

On this episode, Vince talks with private investigator and cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano, about some of today·s biggest threats to individuals building wealth. They discuss how AI and deepfakes are making voice and video fraud harder to detect, fueling a surge in high-dollar consumer scams, how emotions, loneliness, and default human trust drive victimization, and the importance of situational awareness and self-knowledge of vulnerabilities. They also discuss reframing security as risk management rather than paranoia, and practical defenses such as using password managers with unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, credit freezes, and VPNs on public Wi-Fi.

"I shipped the bike and a couple of weeks later, the real credit card holder got a statement, said I didn't place that order, filed a chargeback, and then the money was gone." John Murphy's first-ever Shopify sale was a total scam. Two weeks into launching, he wired a $5,000 e-bike to a guy putting on an old man's voice over the phone. That single chargeback kicked off an eight-year obsession with not getting burned again. He grew eBike Generation into a $3M store and pieced together a fraud detection stack that didn't eat his razor-thin drop shipping margins. Now he runs FRIQ Labs, productizing the system he built for himself. We covered the trifecta of red flags that almost always mean fraud, why you should never auto-capture payments on Shopify, and how being curious about a single weird order can save you thousands.

A new House bill would establish a permanent Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability and Recovery. The Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act, introduced by Texas Republican Pete Sessions last week, would ensure the permanent IG assists other inspectors general in detecting and mitigating fraud in federal awards over $50,000. The bill also would require the Treasury Secretary to make recommendations for anti-fraud resources in any future emergency relief or recovery appropriations packages.

Fraud doesn't sleep, and neither does the challenge of keeping good customers happy while stopping bad actors in their tracks. In this live episode of Talk Commerce, recorded on the floor of Shoptalk in Las Vegas, host Isaac Morey sat down with Nicole Jass from Signifyd for a candid, fast-moving conversation about what it really takes to protect an e-commerce business today — without driving away the customers you've worked hard to earn.From machine learning and consortium data models to agentic commerce and instant refunds, Nicole covers the full spectrum of what modern fraud protection looks like — and why it's about so much more than just stopping a bad transaction.Key TakeawaysFraud protection should grow revenue, not just cut losses. Signifyd helped Lenovo increase top-line sales by 4–5% by reducing false declines alongside fraud.The consortium model is a force multiplier. Sharing fraud signals across thousands of merchants means that stopping one bad actor protects everyone on the network simultaneously.Not all bots are bad anymore. Agentic commerce is changing how merchants need to think about automated traffic, and Signifyd is already preparing for that shift.Returns are the next fraud frontier. Instant refunds are a loyalty-building tool — but only when merchants can tell the difference between a genuine return and someone shipping a box of rocks.Scaling fraud teams with people alone won't work. As businesses grow, "Katie reviewing transactions" isn't a sustainable strategy. Machine learning fills the gap efficiently.The customer experience IS the product. Every decline, every friction point, every delayed refund is a moment of truth that either builds or breaks brand loyalty.

Fleet fraud is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up. In this episode of the Fleet Success Show, Josh Turley sits down with Wil Fitzgerald, fraud and financial crimes leader at WEX, to break down how modern fraud schemes target fleet operations, and what fleet leaders can do to protect their organizations. From AI-generated documents and deepfake scams to fuel card misuse and account takeover attacks, fraudsters are getting smarter, faster, and better funded. That means fleets need better controls, better visibility, and better operational discipline to stay ahead. Josh and Wil discuss: • Why fraud is an adversarial game between organizations and criminals • How AI is making fraud harder to detect • The biggest fleet-specific fraud risks (fuel cards, account takeover, mobile apps) • Why open-loop vs closed-loop payments matter for fraud prevention • The simple controls fleet managers should implement immediately • Real-world fraud stories that cost companies millions of dollars If you manage fleet budgets, fuel programs, or operational risk, this episode will help you understand where fraud actually happens, and how to stop it before it escalates. Key Takeaways 1. Fraudsters are highly motivated and well funded Every successful fraud attack funds the next one, which means organizations must continuously evolve their defenses. 2. AI has changed the fraud landscape Fraudsters can now create realistic fake documents, websites, and phishing campaigns in minutes. 3. Account takeover is one of the biggest fleet risks Compromised credentials, stored payment cards, and weak security practices create easy entry points. 4. Closed-loop systems reduce fraud exposure When fleets control where and how cards can be used, they dramatically reduce misuse. 5. Simple operational controls prevent most fraud Daily transaction monitoring, strong PIN policies, and employee training stop many attacks early.   Speaker Bios Josh Turley — Host, Fleet Success Show | CEO, RTA Josh Turley is the CEO of RTA: The Fleet Success Company and host of the Fleet Success Show podcast. With over two decades of experience in fleet operations and technology, Josh helps fleet leaders improve performance, reduce operational blind spots, and lead with confidence.

  This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie and Karen are joined by Aaron Lemon-Strauss, the Department of Education's (ED) FAFSA program executive director, to discuss new FAFSA fraud prevention measures announced by the department this week. Aaron kicks off the discussion by explaining the technical details of how these new fraud prevention measures will work in the online FAFSA workflow. He further explains how, starting April 26, ED will screen and assess each FAFSA for fraud risk before it is submitted, along with a one-time screen of previously submitted 2026-27 FAFSAs. Throughout the discussion, Melanie and Karen ask Aaron questions that financial aid offices may have, and relay possible concerns about administrative burden, impact on legitimate students, and more.

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we dive into one of the most critical but overlooked foundations of finance: internal controls and fraud prevention. What starts as a simple reconciliation issue quickly becomes a much bigger question about trust, accuracy, and the systems that keep businesses running. Internal controls are often misunderstood as bureaucratic red tape, but in reality, they function as the immune system of a company. They are the invisible guardrails that ensure financial data is accurate, operations run efficiently, and organizations remain compliant with regulations. Without them, even the largest companies can collapse under the weight of errors or fraud.We break down the three core types of internal controls, preventive, detective, and corrective, and explain how they work together to protect a company's financial integrity. From segregation of duties and access controls to reconciliations and internal audits, you will learn how finance teams design systems that catch issues before they become catastrophic.This episode also explores real-world case studies that show both success and failure. We look at how companies like Microsoft and Procter and Gamble build robust control environments through automation and culture, and contrast that with major breakdowns like Enron and Wirecard, where weak oversight and lack of verification led to massive financial scandals.We also unpack the role of regulation, including the impact of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and what corporate finance and compliance teams actually do day to day to maintain trust in financial reporting.Ultimately, this conversation reframes internal controls as more than just compliance. They are systems designed to engineer trust, reduce risk, and protect the credibility of financial information in global markets.If you work in finance, analyze companies, or want to understand how businesses prevent fraud and ensure accuracy behind the scenes, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about financial systems.

In this episode of Fraud in the Office, we break down “CashDash”—The 5-minute Fraud Loop, a $2.5 million fraud scheme that exploited DoorDash from the inside out. How many cheeseburgers would that be...probably filets?A former employee, armed with insider knowledge and stolen credentials, manipulated internal processes to trigger fraudulent payouts, turning a convenience platform into a cash machine. We unpack:How the scheme worked (and why it scaled so quickly) Where controls failed across access, processes, and monitoring Why insider threats remain one of the biggest risks in modern platformsMost importantly, we translate this real-world case into practical controls, from access governance to process configuration, to transaction monitoring that organizations can implement to prevent becoming the next headline.Because sometimes, fraud doesn't hack the system… it uses it exactly as poorly designed.Support the showFind us on all streaming platforms! Check out our sponsor 1Trooper on LinkedIn @1TrooperAnd don't forget to subscribe!

Arkose Labs sits at the intersection of bot management, fraud prevention, and identity protection -- working with the world's largest consumer-facing brands to make fraud unprofitable. Frank Teruel walks through how the threat landscape shifted from nation-state actors and organized crime to fully democratized crime-as-a-service platforms, where MFA bypass kits are sold online and multi-billion dollar fraud operations run with the efficiency of a product company. The conversation covers three of the biggest attack categories hitting organizations today: SMS toll fraud, bonus abuse, and fake account registrations. Each one exploits legitimate business flows -- onboarding, loyalty programs, referral bonuses -- and often goes entirely undetected by security teams because the attackers never trigger a traditional alert. In one example, a rideshare company's cell bill climbed by millions before anyone connected it to a fraud campaign. With agentic AI now in the mix, the attribution problem has become exponentially harder. Is that agent booking a hotel room a legitimate user action or the opening move of an account takeover? Arkose Labs places its defenses at the very top of the funnel -- registration and login flows -- combining risk scoring, challenge technology, a 24/7 SOC, and a dark web intelligence program called ACTOR. When a novel attack technique surfaces in gaming, Arkose Labs writes a global mitigation; when that same technique hits banking two days later, the defense is already deployed. Frank Teruel closes with a direct message to CISOs: 75% of organizations surveyed cannot perform attribution, and 97% expect a major AI-driven incident within the next 12 months. The signal to watch for is not always in the security stack -- it shows up in rising SMS bills, unusual account-linking activity, and transaction abandonment rates that do not match marketing spend. The answer is internal fusion: security, fraud, finance, and operations sharing data before the incident, not after. This is a Brand Spotlight.

A decade ago, Kevin Gosschalk was talking CAPTCHAs and bot mitigation with Marco Ciappelli at a security conference. Today, at RSAC Conference 2026, the conversation has shifted to agentic AI -- autonomous systems that browse, click, and transact on behalf of users. For Gosschalk, the Founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, the technology has changed but the challenge is familiar: how do you tell the difference between a legitimate automated actor and a malicious one? Gosschalk explains that the vast majority of agentic traffic today is not self-identifying. Rather than announcing themselves as AI agents, these systems impersonate real Chrome browsers on Mac OS -- choosing configurations with stronger privacy features to evade fingerprinting. There are two technical categories to contend with: headless browsers running in the cloud, which can be caught through device spoofing checks, and on-device agents that control a real browser instance, which require a deeper look at behavioral patterns and intent signals. Arkose Labs builds intent models around payment fraud, fake account creation, and account compromise to distinguish the good agents from the bad. The economic framing Gosschalk brings to this conversation is striking. He describes SMS toll fraud -- where bad actors acquire millions of premium phone numbers and trigger OTP messages from victim companies, earning three to six cents per message while costing those companies tens of millions of dollars annually. He walks through micro deposit fraud targeting fintechs. His core thesis: fraud is an economic activity, and the best defense is making attacks more expensive than they are worth. Arkose Labs builds challenge mechanisms designed to raise that cost through novel stimuli that ML models have not been trained to solve -- presenting something genuinely new forces a brute-force approach that is less effective than purpose-built attacks. The platform's consortium model is a key differentiator. Arkose Labs protects large enterprises including Expedia and Meta, and when an attack signature appears on one customer but nowhere else in the network, its uniqueness is itself a strong fraud signal. Customers can also feed labeled outcome data back into the system -- if something slips through and later proves malicious, that label sharpens the model for the entire consortium. Gosschalk is equally clear about the opportunity side of agentic AI. Blocking all automated traffic is no longer viable -- legitimate agentic commerce is coming, where consumers will delegate shopping, comparison, and purchasing to AI assistants. The future is not blanket blocking but granular, policy-driven enforcement: letting each customer define what kinds of agentic behavior they want to permit on their platforms. Integration is accessible -- a basic JavaScript deployment for web, SDKs for mobile, and extended support for IoT devices and CDN integrations. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Welcome to the 9Innings Podcast where we Educate, Empower and Engage. ON THIS WEEKS PODCAST: In this episode, Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, breaks down the recent changes to Texas property tax laws, with a focus on the 2024 homestead exemption updates and what I call the “Texas Two Step.” We walk through how stricter enforcement is impacting homeowners—especially those who have placed their homes into trusts—and I use my parents' situation as a real-world example. The key takeaway: you need to make sure your trust documents are structured correctly, respond to appraisal district notices on time, and stay proactive. If you don't, you risk losing one of the most valuable tax benefits available to Texas homeowners. This is one of those areas where a small oversight can cost you thousands, so working with the right professionals matters.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie and Karen discuss three new House bills focused on preventing fraud in the student aid programs, all of which were advanced by the House Education and Workforce Committee this week. Karen explains what each of the three bills would do and how they would impact institutions. From there, Melanie discusses what's happening with the Department of Education's (ED) Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement (ACTS) reporting requirement following a federal judge's temporary injunction blocking ED from enforcing its March 18 deadline. The team also discusses updates from Federal Student Aid (FSA), including when final rules are expected for the RISE and AHEAD negotiated rulemaking sessions and when recordings of the FSA training conference will be available to the public. Finally, Melanie gives a brief update on what NASFAA knows about an influx of institutions receiving borrower defense claims. 

What is up fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward!This is one of those conversations every fraud, risk, payments, and operations leader should hear.We spend a lot of time talking about fraud losses, scam trends, and faster payments. What we do not always unpack is where the real breakdown happens in the payment journey. Does it start at onboarding? Does it show up in authentication? Is speed the issue? Is recovery the problem? Or are institutions still misreading what payment controls are actually designed to do?In this episode, I sit down with Kyle Caldwell from The Clearing House to unpack payments fraud prevention the way teams actually experience it in the real world:Before a payment startsDuring payment initiationAfter the funds are sentBecause once the money moves, everything changes.That is the core message of this episode. Payments fraud prevention is not only about the rail. It is about the full lifecycle.Kyle brings a practical perspective to one of the biggest myths in our space. Faster payments are not automatically the cause of more fraud. In many cases, the payment itself is just the final stage of a much earlier breakdown involving identity, compromise, or weak controls.If you work in community banking fraud prevention, credit union fraud prevention, or broader fraud operations strategy, this episode gives you a more useful way to think about risk, controls, and response in a real-time environment.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy payments fraud prevention needs to begin long before the payment railHow institutions often confuse rail risk with customer compromiseWhere RTP fraud prevention differs from ACH fraud recovery and wire fraud recoveryWhich payment initiation fraud controls exist in real-time payments that many teams overlookHow indemnity and recovery work in the RTP environmentWhy real time decisioning matters more than relying on investigation after the factWhere firms are overbuilt on detection but underprepared on preventionWhy collaboration across institutions still mattersWhat fraud leaders should be planning for as payment lifecycle fraud evolves in 2026You should listen to this episode if youLead fraud, risk, payments, or operations at a financial institutionAre reviewing RTP fraud prevention or strengthening instant payments fraud controlsWant to improve fraud prevention before payment initiationNeed a better approach to post payment fraud recoveryAre building a stronger financial institution fraud strategyWant practical insight from The Clearing House perspectiveIf this episode gave you something useful, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another fraud fighter.

Fuel is surging, fraud is forcing new action in Washington, and the freight market is sending mixed signals. This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz is joined by NFI's Justin Maze to break down the biggest developments shaping freight right now, from the newly introduced Safer Transport Act and work authorization mandates to diesel's sharp climb and what it means for brokers, carriers, and spot market pricing. They also dig into tender rejections hitting 15%, why small fleets may be getting squeezed, and how produce season is tightening capacity in the Southeast while the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast tell very different stories. If you're trying to make sense of a market that feels increasingly capacity-driven, not demand-driven, this episode lays out what to watch next. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

In this episode of Fraud in the Office, Matthew and Mark break down the alleged multibillion-dollar fraud involving First Brands founder Patrick James and his brother Edward James, dubbed the “Fraud Bros.” Prosecutors claim the executives used fake invoices, double- and triple-pledged collateral, off-balance-sheet financing, and manipulated financial statements to obtain billions from lenders before the company ultimately collapsed into bankruptcy.The hosts unpack how aggressive growth strategies, weak internal controls, and governance failures can turn financial engineering into outright fraud. Along the way, they explore the warning signs lenders and auditors often miss and discuss practical lessons organizations can use to strengthen controls, improve oversight, and reduce the risk of large-scale corporate fraud.Support the showFind us on all streaming platforms!

Today, we've got Joe Ohr and Marli Hall from NMFTA to discuss the launch of SCAC Verified and why identity verification is quickly becoming a non-negotiable standard in freight brokerage, trucking, and supply chain operations! As verification requirements tighten across the industry, this NMFTA-led initiative strengthens carrier legitimacy through biometric verification, helping brokers, shippers, and carriers combat rising cargo theft, chameleon carriers, and digital fraud risks. We also cover the upcoming Freight Fraud Prevention Hub launching on March 3rd, a collaborative resource packed with best practices, fraud trends, and actionable strategies designed to protect logistics providers across the transportation industry.  As regulatory pressure increases from the FMCSA and fraud continues to escalate, maintaining an active SCAC code and adopting verification tools early will separate legitimate carriers from bad actors, build trust faster during onboarding, and create a real competitive advantage in today's freight market, because moving freight safely now starts with proving who you are!
