  • Jordan and Cambria discussed recent fraud news, focusing on a viral TikTok trend about a Chase bank glitch. People deposited fake checks into their accounts, trying to withdraw funds before the checks bounced. They noted that this "glitch" is essentially an old school check fraud, which has gained traction due to social media's influence.

    Cambria emphasized that many didn't see it as fraud but rather an opportunity for quick cash. Both Jordan and Cambria found it amusing how easily people justified it due to the viral nature of the posts. They also pointed out that social media plays a significant role in normalizing questionable activities, such as this glitch and other scams.

    They also touched on how sophisticated account takeover (ATO) and synthetic identities contribute to modern fraud, with many fraudsters using fake or stolen identities to exploit the system.

    Additionally, they briefly discussed the rise in small business lending fraud, attributing it to stolen legitimate business identities and economic pressures. Jordan shared insights on how people are applying for fake loans using stolen business information. They concluded by stressing the importance of early fraud detection and the need for more robust shared intelligence among businesses to prevent fraud.Visit Frank's website who we reference a lot today: www.frankonfraud.com

  • In this episode of "Fraud Focus," Jordan and Cambria dive deep into the topic of friendly fraud, discussing recent industry trends and their personal experiences in fraud prevention. They begin by addressing the recent National Public Data breach, providing a detailed overview of the incident and offering practical advice on how to protect oneself from identity theft, such as freezing credit and being cautious with suspicious communications.

    The conversation then shifts to the core topic: friendly fraud. They explore how the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of online shopping have led to an increase in friendly fraud cases, where consumers dispute legitimate charges to get refunds without returning the items. Jordan and Cambria discuss the psychological disconnect that leads consumers to engage in this behavior, comparing it to traditional theft. They also touch on the impact of friendly fraud on businesses, especially in industries like food delivery and digital goods.

    The discussion includes insights into the challenges of managing friendly fraud, the role of ATOs (Account Takeovers), and the sophistication of fraudsters in making fraudulent transactions appear legitimate. They also speculate on the potential for stricter consumer penalties and the need for better biometric authentication to curb fraud.

    They conclude by considering the broader implications of fraud prevention strategies and the importance of consumer education in reducing fraud.Articles Referenced in the episode:
