Our fraud expert, Faye Lipson was targeted by a highly sophisticated and manipulative spear-phishing scam, which is when fraudsters create personalised scams to target an individual.
Faye was invited to deliver a guest lecture at a university in her area of expertise: investigating scams and protecting consumer data. Unfortunately, this gratifying offer was a total lie devised by fraudsters and crafted, almost certainly, using artificial intelligence. Faye spotted this scam before it could harm her and you can learn how to do the same.
