“Fraudsters are preying on human emotion… and it clearly works.”
Scams are becoming more personal, more emotional, and more sophisticated. In this episode, we explore how social engineering, investment scams, and “crime-as-a-service” are reshaping the fraud landscape, and why awareness and collaboration are our strongest defences.
Our special guests this week are Jessie Apple, Group Head of FinCrime Compliance & Risk and UK MLRO at Wise, Co-Chair, ACAMS UK Chapter and Aaron Wilson, Product Leader, Fraud & Victim Prevention at Wise, who share how the company partners with law enforcement, regulators, and even social media platforms to stop scams before they spread.
From reimbursement reform and data sharing to real-time intelligence and public awareness, this conversation reveals how financial institutions can fight scams collectively, and what it really takes to protect people in a connected world.
