Podcasts about fraudsters

In the early 20th century, Neal's company Force of Life was investigated for fraud. But somehow, Neal managed to get through the scandal and went on to found a cosmetics company that became very successful. Research: “Can’t Find E. Virgil Neal.” New York Times.

Technology keeps changing, but many of the most effective scams still come down to something very human: trust. My guest today is Tony Sales, co-founder of We Fight Fincrime and Underworld TV. Tony has a perspective most people in fraud prevention will never have. Earlier in his life, he was involved in organized financial crime and was once described in the UK press as Britain's greatest fraudster.  After years in that world, and after serving time in prison, Tony made the decision to use what he knew to help stop the very crimes he had once been part of. Today, Tony works with financial institutions, governments, law enforcement, and major organizations to help them better understand fraud, social engineering, money laundering, and cybercrime. In this conversation, he explains why criminals are often so effective at exploiting human behavior, why security training can miss the real-world ways scams unfold, and why friction is not always a bad thing when it helps protect people from devastating losses. We also talk about the role of leaked data, call center scams, deepfakes, banking safeguards, and why consumers and organizations both need to think differently about fraud prevention. Tony's message is direct: criminals adapt quickly, and if we want to defend against them, we need to understand how they think. Show Notes: [01:25] Tony Sales shares his background as a former UK fraudster and explains how he now works through We Fight Fincrime to help people understand money laundering, online safety, and human vulnerability. [03:04] Tony describes being drawn into crime as a child, beginning with small thefts before gradually moving into sponsorship scams, credit card fraud, and cloned debit cards. [06:10] After getting caught for identity theft and spending years as a fugitive, Tony explains how prison and seeing the impact on his family became a turning point in his life. [08:35] How organized crime operates like a business, with different people handling IDs, fraud schemes, fake watches, mortgage fraud, and professional connections. [11:40] Why criminal networks rely on trusted introductions, insulation, and layers of separation to protect the people at the top. [14:30] Tony explains how criminals adapt in the moment, use confidence to avoid suspicion, and often rely on talking their way out of situations instead of escalating them. [18:20] The difference between how criminals and security professionals think, including why criminals are not limited by the same rules, checklists, or assumptions. [21:35] Tony discusses how childhood experiences, ADHD, and a lack of structure contributed to the way he viewed rules and boundaries. [24:00] Social engineering is not always dramatic or technical; Tony explains how believable stories, ordinary behavior, and quick adaptation can be more effective than elaborate tactics. [26:45] How call center scams combine scripts with salesmanship, emotional pressure, and real-time responses to keep victims engaged. [29:33] Tony explains why leaked data remains valuable for criminals and how even a name and phone number can be enough to build a convincing attack. [31:43] The conversation turns to personal and organizational protection, including Tony's belief that people need to "patch" the human operating system. [34:20] Why fraud awareness training often fails when it is boring, generic, or disconnected from people's everyday consumer lives. [36:16] An example of a bank adding friction to an international wire transfer, and Tony explains why friction can protect people from major losses. [38:30] Tony discusses the tension between fast, frictionless transactions and stronger safeguards that may slow people down but reduce fraud risk. [41:03] AI, deepfakes, and impersonation scams raise new challenges, but Tony emphasizes the importance of live verification and using common sense. [43:24] What consumers should understand about bank security, shared responsibility, and why no system can remove every risk. [46:00] Everyday data requests, such as hotels asking for passport copies, can create long-term privacy and fraud risks if that information is mishandled. [47:48] Tony discusses online safety, young people, and why banning access to social media may create new vulnerabilities instead of solving the underlying problem. [50:15] Why learning from former criminals, hackers, and people who understand real-world attacks can help organizations defend themselves more effectively. [52:30] Tony explains why companies need more security talent, stronger resources, and boards that understand the scale of modern fraud and cybercrime threats. [54:32] Tony shares where listeners can find him online and learn more about We Fight Fincrime. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

There has been a recent surge in AI-generated online adverts promoting bogus state-backed investment schemes, according to FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative led by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), as consumers are warned to be on alert. The ads feature fake images or videos of high-profile politicians and businesspeople encouraging consumers to click a link to register for the scheme. This is the latest trend in an ongoing wave of investment fraud in recent years, particularly targeting people in their 50s who may be looking for investment opportunities ahead of retirement. New figures from An Garda Síochána show an increase of over 20% in reports of investment fraud in 2025 compared to 2024, with more than €20 million in losses. This upwards trend is continuing into 2026. Niamh Davenport, Head of Financial Crime with BPFI, said: "We are seeing a worrying rise in AI-generated online adverts featuring fake images and videos of well-known and trusted politicians and businesspeople. Fraudsters are exploiting recent news coverage of a planned state-backed savings and investment scheme to make their adverts appear legitimate. They often claim the scheme is open to everyone, but that places are limited and being 'snapped up' fast, in order to pressure people to act quickly. They typically promise guaranteed returns or a guaranteed monthly income. While these scams are targeted at people of all ages, recent trends show that many victims of investment scams like these are in their early 50s, often at a stage in their life where they are actively managing savings or making longer?term financial decisions for retirement." Describing how the scam works, Ms Davenport continued: "Most investment scams tend to follow a similar pattern. Consumers are encouraged to click on a registration link and asked to fill in a short form with their contact details to receive more information. They may then receive a call from a so-called 'financial advisor' urging them to make an immediate 'security deposit' to secure their place on the scheme. Once the victim is convinced and has authorised the payment, the criminal will quickly transfer the money through multiple accounts, often overseas, where it is then cashed out." Reports of investment scams to Gardaí rose by over 20% of in 2025 with over €20 million in losses Commenting on wider investment scam trends, Michael Cryan, Detective Superintendent at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau stated: "Reports of investment fraud in Ireland rose by over 20% in 2025 compared to 2024, with over €20 million in losses. This upwards trend is continuing into 2026. Individual losses can start anywhere from €250 on a crypto scam, but for bigger investment scams involving bonds and shares, it can start anywhere from €10,000 and can increase significantly beyond this. While the amounts may seem high, victims are not necessarily wealthy individuals. They are often ordinary people who have worked hard to build up a pension or savings and are looking for an opportunity to strengthen their finances ahead of, or during, retirement. We would urge everyone, particularly those aged over 50, to be alert to these scams and, if they believe they may have fallen victim to investment fraud, to contact their bank and An Garda Síochána immediately." FraudSMART partners with Age Friendly Ireland to raise awareness at community events Catherine McGuigan, Chief Officer, Age Friendly Ireland added: "These are very serious scams that can have a life-changing impact on victims. The best defence against these fraudsters is knowledge and Age Friendly Ireland is pleased to partner with FraudSMART to raise awareness at community events across the country in the coming weeks and months and help people recognise the warning signs. It is so important to pause, take time to check, and speak to someone you trust before responding to any unexpected offer. Importantly, people should not feel embarrassed if they are caught...

Little can prepare security teams for the sheer noise, pyrotechnics, national pride, and fan enthusiasm around FIFA World Cup events, but in this episode of Security Management Highlights, we'll give it a shot. First, Anton Kalaydjian shares how his experience on close protection details for celebrities and VIPs at World Cup events translated to a broader career in soccer security. Then, Efrén Vera Torres, CPP, explains how fraudsters take advantage of the World Cup and what that means for banking and finance institutions. And finally, Mason Wilder, CFE, research director for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) shares some of the findings from the association's latest occupational fraud report—not strictly about soccer, but a good reminder not to take your eye off the ball for insider threats.

Join Governor and Kendel Ehrlich for a rapid-fire discussion on trending topics making headlines this week. 

Out of order awesomeness... Which luxury and/or exotic cars are preferred by crooks and food-stamp fraudsters (by brand - Ferarris and Lambos and Porsches, oh my) - and what your car behavior says about you (publicly, on gov't docs, you fool), why trusting Door Dash randos to not film you passed out through a closed door and then go full tick-tocking victim-voyeur is probably a bridge too far (invite the worst and you'll get it) and why there's an entire generation that deserves the Ray Liotta prison-island treatment, and the sad death of a (and some fun history about) the first-generation Toyota Rav4. There's also a warning from the Gearhead Consultancy: when you're having fun at less-sanctioned small-scale car-guy gatherings like a bit of crawling, an illegal street race or a monster truck event in Colombia, keeping your head on a swivel is not optional - what keeps you safe is YOU. All that, plus project pouncing (let the geek ride!), Led Zeppelin, battle-driving and coyotes in Chi-town, Bigfoot and friends (El Squatcho and attack avocados - real or just underdiscovered?), and wearing pants for the neighbors.

Alan bradley's new book, ‘Unmasking Samantha Cookes: The Many Lives of a Serial Fraudster', tells the extraordinary true story of a serial fraudster who moved between Ireland and the UK for more than a decade, assuming multiple identities, and leaving a trail of devastated families, duped institutions, and exploited charities in her wake. Through meticulous investigation and first-hand testimony, award‑winning documentary film‑maker Alan Bradley reveals how Samantha Cookes - better known to many as “Carrie Jade Williams” - weaponised trust, disability, and vulnerability to deceive everyone from young parents to universities and the Irish state itself. Alan joins Pat in studio to discuss.

Whether you're a believer or you're just curious, the UFO files are heating up with mystery, disappearing scientists, and a UFO sighting (seen by all sorts of top-level government officials) just LAST YEAR. Fraudsters are scamming Americans out of a staggering $1.5 BILLION a day - and if you think Minnesota is the epicenter of suck - you're wrong.     

Amy Bock was just sentenced to over 41 years in prison for the Feeding Our Future fraud — and she's singing like a canary, pointing the finger directly at Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, and Tim Walz. Omar was caught on camera refusing to answer a single question about the $250 million scandal after telling The Breakfast Club to "investigate me all you want." Plus the learing center at the heart of Nick Shirley's investigation just led to federal indictments — while The Daily Show's Josh Johnson and CNN tried to discredit him.

In this Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers your biggest questions about whether the Trump administration is truly dismantling the Deep State, with major updates on new DOJ cases involving former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and even Dr. Fauci's inner circle. He explains why recent indictments and subpoenas could signal real movement against what he calls the "Original Swamp Monsters," including cases tied to threats against President Trump, the Russia collusion narrative, and alleged COVID-era coverups involving deleted records and gain-of-function research. Bryan also breaks down the massive FBI fraud raids in Minnesota targeting Somali-run daycare and autism centers, arguing that the White House sees these investigations as both a justice issue and a broader immigration and midterm-election strategy. Plus, Bryan shares how his CIA counterterrorism training shaped his analysis of the Trump assassination attempt and the debate over ideological motivation, gives updates on the brutal wars in Ukraine and Iran, and explains why economic pressure on Tehran may be the White House's best path to victory.

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. Through RTA Fleet360, consulting, and educational resources, Josh and the RTA team support public sector and enterprise fleets in building safer, more reliable operations. Wil Fitzgerald — Fraud & Financial Crimes Leader, WEX Wil Fitzgerald leads fraud and financial crimes strategy at WEX, overseeing teams responsible for detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud across payment platforms. With a career focused almost entirely on fraud prevention, Wil specializes in identifying emerging fraud threats and developing systems to combat them.

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is under scrutiny after admitting that fraudsters targeted its $100 million small business grant program, the Minnesota Promise Act. Commissioner Matt Varilek acknowledged that safeguards, while in place, aren't foolproof. An investigation revealed that some grant recipients may not have met eligibility requirements, raising questions about the allocation of taxpayer dollars. DEED is reevaluating businesses featured in the report and has referred 76 potentially fraudulent applications to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. They've already clawed back approximately $10,000. Lawmakers are pressing for answers and changes to the program, highlighting the need for greater oversight and accountability in the distribution of public funds to prevent future fraud and ensure the money reaches the intended recipients.

Amy Chavez talks with Robert Whiting about his recently released book Gamblers, Fraudsters, Dreamers & Spies: The Outsiders who Shaped Modern Japan (Tuttle, 2024). Bob talks about several colorful characters who populated Tokyo in the 60s and 70s, including strong women such like Australian bar hostess Maggie, who became famous for using scissors to cut off the neckties of customers, and a female yakuza gangster who carried a revolver in her purse. And if you think Japan doesn't have a drug problem, think again. Whiting talks about North Korean drug-smuggling and its contribution to a surging number of meth users in the country. Lastly, while most tourists to Japan can't help but be impressed by Japanese taxi drivers who wear white gloves and offer impeccably polite service, things weren't always so good when hailing a cab in Japan. In fact, drivers used to be rude, dirty and reportedly, the job was so loathsome that Japanese wives were embarrassed to tell people their husbands were taxi drivers! As Whiting tells us, that all changed with the MK Taxi company, started by a Korean determined to put a new face on ride hailing.

America's two-tiered justice system seems to unfairly punish the innocent while letting the egregiously criminal always get away with it.... until now. 70 hospice centers in LA County are being unfunded and investigated as Fraud Czar JD Vance unleashes an AI system to track down the criminals. RFK Jr says HHS employees under Joe Biden were told to ignore fraud and rush to enroll as many social services recipients as possible. Men are walking away from democrats... but they're also leaving Team Trump.  

Listen in to hear from two renowned fraud experts, Kelly Paxton & Professor Kelly Richmond Pope, talk about pink collar crime: What is it Why it happens How to spot it and What we can do to stop it  With our guests, Sarah Hadden and Ellen M. Hunt, explore whether there are differences between women and men fraudsters, what tools are available or may become available in the future to detect fraud before it happens, and whether biases or preconceived stereotypes hinder our ability to prevent and identify pink-collar crime.   Hear from two of the most experienced fraud professionals by tuning in on your favorite podcast platform, on Corporate Compliance Insights, and the Compliance Podcast Network.

The discussion centers on how modern ATOs have shifted from simple credential theft to sophisticated schemes where the account itself holds more value than a stolen credit card. You will learn why traditional security measures like SMS-based 2FA are increasingly vulnerable to SIM swapping and phishing, and how grounding digital identity in physical location behavior can provide a 99.9% accurate, frictionless authentication experience. By leveraging "smart friction" and indoor location intelligence, platforms can effectively distinguish between a legitimate user setting up a new device and a professional fraudster, ultimately reducing ATO rates to zero.   Ready to see where your own mobile application might be vulnerable to these sophisticated attacks?

In 2015, the media became obsessed with one man's attempts to grow tea in the Scottish Highlands.  The BBC profiled him on the One Show. Radio reporters flocked to interview him. Even the Chinese national news agency reported his work.  Tam O'Braan (as he was then known) was the first to ever sell Scottish tea, and the press went wild.  Fornum and Mason bought his leaves. The Dorchester created a new Scottish tea-tasting menu. Barack Obama reportedly tried his tea, and the Queen loved it. Tam's business started bringing in hundreds of thousands of pounds. But soon his lies began to unravel. Today, with Jaega Wise, we tell the story of the Scottish tea scandal.

Fraudsters are increasingly using deepfake videos of CEOs and other company executives to trick firms out of millions of dollars. And with the evolution of AI, these videos are becoming ever-more sophisticated and convincing. We speak to two CEOs who have been deepfaked: the head of the Bombay stock exchange and the boss of password security company LastPass. And we hear how criminals used deepfake videos to trick British engineering firm Arup into handing over $25 million. How easy is it to make these videos? Ed Butler visits a cybersecurity company which shows him how it can be done, using readily available software. Ed's hosts make a deepfake of him and we compare the real Ed to the fake Ed. We also put figures on the size of this problem and explain how much it's costing businesses.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Ed Butler Producer: Gideon Long Sound Mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.
