In this free webinar from Tenet Law, award-winning investigative journalist Kaf Okpattah will talk about the new arms race of deepfake calls, psychological manipulation and advanced money laundering techniques. These criminals – many of them still teenagers – remain constantly one step ahead of the authorities and are adept at exploiting our social and digital weaknesses.
For decades, fraudsters were seen as opportunistic criminals targeting the vulnerable. This is no longer the reality
The discussion will explore Kaf’s new book on the subject, to help inform those on the front line of combating fraud of what the threat truly looks like.
- The young scammers: understanding what does ‘fraud school’ look like in the modern world, how and why do people get into a career of scamming so early in their lives.
- The London scammer: Kaf’s chase and investigation into identifying social media scammer influencers including the identifying of Tankz (the “London Scammer”), as shown in BBC Panorama.
- Understanding their tools and methods: Hearing from the discoveries Kaf made about the tools of influence to trap victims and how these criminals share information and methods
- The law and the response: Kaf’s perspective on the law, response and intervention of Scam Nation, i.e., these perpetrators of financial crime.
- What happens next: What is catching Kaf’s ears and eyes on educating, preventing and disrupting the next generation of fraudsters.
