?What happens when a fraudster doesn?t steal an identity? but builds one from scratch??

Synthetic identities are one of the fastest-growing threats in financial crime. Built from fragments of real and fabricated data, these identities can pass onboarding checks, behave like legitimate users for months or even years, and then suddenly ?bust out?, leaving businesses with significant losses.

Our special guest this week is Steve Lenderman. Drawing on decades of experience investigating fraud, Steve shares how synthetic identities are created, how they evolve over time, and why this threat has grown from a credit-card problem into a global issue affecting fintech, payroll, government programs, and beyond.

From bot-generated identities and AI-assisted fraud to sleeper accounts, bust-out schemes, and synthetic businesses, this conversation explores how organized crime groups and even nation-state actors are scaling these attacks. We also look at why collaboration between industries is critical, how behavioural and device intelligence can reveal hidden patterns, and what companies can do to detect synthetic identities before the damage is done.

Fraud in iGaming is shaping how operators grow, how regulators respond, and where investors place bets. Recorded live at ICE Barcelona in partnership with the C-Suite Podcast, this is Part 2 of our special What The Fraud? series on the widening global fraud landscape in iGaming.

Kris Galloway, iGaming Product Evangelist at Sumsub, took over hosting duties and he was joined by:

Unlicensed operators and AI-enabled fraud are scaling faster than most safeguards. Regulators, operators, and tech providers are being forced to rethink what ?player protection? actually means, and how to enforce it across borders. This is Part 1 of 2 special episodes of the What The Fraud? podcast, recorded live at ICE Barcelona.

Guest host Kris Galloway, iGaming Product Evangelist speaks with Olabimpe Akingba, Head of Responsible Gaming at pawaTech, Ludovico Calvi, Honorary Presidentof United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports, and Sarah Gardner, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at UK Gambling Commission, about where the market is breaking: responsible gaming that goes beyond box-ticking, industrialised fraud networks, underage exposure risks, and the uncomfortable reality that no single stakeholder can solve this alone.

They dig into what actually moves the needle: better use of data, clearer player education, and tighter cooperation between regulators, operators, technology providers, and law enforcement. The takeaway is simple: safe, sustainable gaming will be decided by how well the industry can coordinate enforcement and prevention across jurisdictions, not by adding more isolated controls.

"We can't possibly think of victims as being stupid." We often think of fraud victims as gullible or careless. But what if the real story is about ruthless targeting by increasingly sophisticated criminals? What if AI, deepfakes and quantum computing are making it impossible to tell what's real anymore?

Our guest in this episode is Alex Wood, counter fraud expert, international keynote speaker, part of the BBC Radio 4 Scam Secrets team and, in a former life, a prolific fraudster who spent 20 years defrauding victims of millions before serving three prison sentences and turning his life around. Alex joins host Thomas Taraniuk to discuss the sophistication shift, where fraud attempts are dropping but success rates are climbing, powered by AI that makes attacks more targeted and devastating.

From his former life recruiting English women as callers for organised crime networks to his current work advising the Home Office on Hawala money laundering networks funding small boat crossings, this episode reveals the insider perspective businesses need to hear. Alex explains why prison was a breeding ground for fraud conspiracies rather than a deterrent, how ChatGPT would have made him ten times more prolific and harder to catch, and why the fake Duke of Marlborough scam worked for seven months simply because luxury hotels refused to share data with competitors.

Whether you're protecting your business or trying to spot the red flags in your own life, this conversation offers crucial insights into the criminal mind, the collaboration gaps that fraudsters exploit, and why the next frontier might be quantum computing breaking military grade encryption in minutes rather than months.

"Last year, only one in 10 fraud attempts were sophisticated enough to fool modern verification systems. This year, that number's nearly tripled. Amateur fraudsters are out and professionals who know exactly how to beat our defences are in."

The fraud landscape is undergoing a complete transformation. Whilst overall fraud attempts have dropped by 50%, the attacks that do occur are nearly three times more sophisticated than last year. We're witnessing the rise of coordinated, AI-powered professional operations that combine multiple attack vectors simultaneously.

Our guest is Artem Popov, Technical Product Manager for Fraud Prevention Solution at Sumsub, who joins host Thomas Taraniuk to discuss findings from Sumsub's annual Identity Fraud Report, analysing over 4 million fraud attempts globally.

From AI-generated synthetic identities and deepfakes fooling liveness checks to telemetry tampering that attacks verification systems themselves, this episode exposes sophisticated techniques targeting industries worldwide. Artem explains how ID cards account for 72% of fraudulent documents, why Kenya now sees deepfakes in 10% of fraud attempts, and how romance scams combine emotional manipulation with synthetic identities. This conversation offers crucial insights into the multi-layered defences needed to stay ahead of professional fraud networks investing real money, time, and talent into beating your systems.

The fraudsters have already figured out what most financial institutions haven't yet: silos don't work. While your fraud team, cyber team and compliance team operate independently with separate tools and data, criminals are exploiting the gaps between them at an industrial scale.

This is part two of two special episodes recorded live at the WTF? Summit in Singapore. Host Thomas Taraniuk sits down with T Raja Kumar, former president of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Holly Fang from the Singapore FinTech Association, and Pasi Koistinen, CISO at Coinhako, to discuss what happens when AI becomes both weapon and shield in the fight against financial crime.

T Raja Kumar reveals why cutting off money flows matters more than raiding scam compounds, Holly Fang explains why ASEAN's fragmented data sharing laws are a fraudster's playground, and Pasi Koistinen makes the case that your separate fraud, cyber and compliance systems are exactly what criminals count on. From satellite connected fraud as a service operations to the uncomfortable truth that compliance teams lack the AI skills they desperately need, this conversation cuts through the optimism.

If Part 1 was about cross industry collaboration, Part 2 is about getting your own house in order first. Because before you can share threat data across borders, you need to share it across your own departments.

The financial crime battlefield is shifting. What used to be separate fights against fraud and money laundering has merged into one coordinated attack on the global financial system. As scammers drain accounts and launder proceeds through mule networks faster than banks can respond, APAC is becoming ground zero for a new kind of financial warfare.

Recorded live at the WTF? Summit in Singapore, this is part one of two special episodes bringing together frontline defenders. Host Thomas Taraniuk sits down with Hassan Ahmed from Coinbase Singapore, Karthik Ramanathan from Mastercard, and Caryn Leong from ACAMS to discuss how the industry is responding to an evolving threat landscape.

From sophisticated deepfakes to money vanishing across borders in minutes, this conversation reveals why fraud networks work together seamlessly while banks are struggling to share data. Hassan explains why Singapore's proactive approach to digital assets sets the standard for Asia, Karthik reveals how mule accounts are the real battleground (not the final transaction), and Caryn makes the case for why compliance teams need to act like crisis responders, not process managers.

If you're building in payments, crypto, or financial services across APAC, this episode is your reality check on what's coming in 2026 and why speed matters more than perfection.

"Fraud is a lot more popular today than it was 10 years ago simply because today you can advertise fraud on TikTok, Snapchat, whatever platform, and you can just have tutorials on how to gamify anything you want at your doorstep."

We think of fraudsters as criminals behind laptops, draining accounts without conscience. But what about that free lunch you claimed on your delivery app or the refund you knew wasn't deserved? Could you be part of the problem too? As the on-demand delivery industry explodes, it's creating new opportunities not just for convenience, but for fraud at every touchpoint.

Our guest in this episode is Boris Montin, FinTech Director at Glovo, who joins host Thomas Taraniuk to discuss how delivery platforms navigate fraud across countries, balancing frictionless customer experiences with robust security measures.

From opportunistic coupon abusers and professional fraudster networks to merchant money laundering and SMS verification scams in Central Asia, this episode reveals the creative schemes targeting delivery platforms. Boris explains how Glovo uses AI and machine learning to detect fraud in real time, why the "perfect level of fraud" is actually about acceptable friction, and how the democratisation of fraud through social media is changing the game. Whether you're ordering dinner or building a marketplace, this conversation offers crucial insights into protecting platforms whilst keeping customers happy.

?When I get in my car every day to go somewhere, I put my seatbelt on? Same thing with being online. What we need people to do is before they turn that laptop on? make sure you?re safe.?

As scams grow more sophisticated and AI gives fraudsters new tools, crypto platforms are under increasing pressure to protect users and preserve trust.

"The main thing that agentic AI is going to be good at is pulling together data from multiple sources? metadata, images, device intelligence, and reconciling it to spot subtle fraud signs humans might miss.?

As fraud grows more sophisticated, financial institutions are turning to agentic AI: systems that don?t just analyse data, but act on it to detect and prevent fraudulent activity at scale.

In this episode, we explore how these AI agents are reshaping compliance and fraud prevention, and what that means for human oversight and operational efficiency.

Our special guest this week is Will Lawrence, CEO and co-founder of Greenlite AI. He shares insights on how his company?s AI agents tackle high-volume fraud, reconcile unstructured and structured data, and free investigators to focus on high-risk, complex cases.

From false positives and synthetic identities to regulatory compliance and emerging fraud vectors, this conversation highlights how businesses can adopt AI responsibly while maintaining trust and accountability in their operations.

?Imagine a campus with 35 buildings, but they are all for the purpose of scamming. It was a walled in, locked down facility where hundreds, thousands of people were in the business of scamming people all over the world.?

Pig Butchering scams have become some of the most lucrative online frauds around. These are highly organized, emotionally manipulative schemes where victims are tricked into handing over life savings, often after forming fake romantic relationships with their scammers. Since 2020, more than 75 billion dollars could have been stolen from victims worldwide.

On this week?s episode we hear from someone on the frontline investigating and shutting down these pig butchering scams. She?s seen the inside of scam factories to show us exactly how they carry out their lucrative crimes. 

Our guest, Erin West spent 26 years as a Deputy District Attorney and carried investigations into cryptocurrency-enabled crimes, SIM-swapping, and digital financial fraud. 

Now, as the President of the anti-fraud initiative Operation Shamrock, Erin is on a mission to unite the global community?law enforcement, crypto platforms, NGOs?to expose, disrupt, and shut down these fraud networks for good.

?99% of employees are good employees - it?s the 1% that hurts? 

When we talk about the risk of fraud to a business, it doesn?t always come from hackers or outsiders - it often starts inside the building. 

Insider attacks can cost companies a lot. In 2024, the average cost of an insider attack was 17.4 million dollars, but there?s also a cost in trust and reputation. 

In this episode, we?re diving into insider fraud with Marc Evans the founder of Fraud Hero. He?s a Certified Fraud Examiner, law enforcement officer, and a seasoned ally in the battle against fraud, with over a decade of experience investigating fraud and financial crimes.

?I think from a prevention perspective, a little friction at the beginning is not necessarily a bad thing.? 

Real-time payments have become the bedrock of modern life. Whether you?re splitting dinner or closing a corporate buyout, money now moves instantly?and irreversibly. 

But that convenience comes with a new tangle of risks: fraud, liability, and the shrinking window to react.

In this episode of What The Fraud?, we sit down with Arthur Bedel?Global Director of Revenue at VGS, fintech advisor, and Co-founder of Connecting the Dots in Payments. He shares where real-time payments are headed, the biggest fraud trends he's seeing globally, and why a bit of friction might just be our best defense.

We dive into real-world case studies, regional differences in adoption, and what financial institutions need to do now to stay ahead of the fraud curve.

?If cybercrime were a country today, it would have the third largest economy on the planet.? 

Fraud is no longer just a crime - it has become a global business with software at its heart. With Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), anyone can access cybercrime tools online, no technical skills required, and at a fraction of the price.

In this episode, we?re joined by Brett Johnson, one of the early pioneers in digital fraud. He?s a poacher turned gamekeeper who set up one of the world?s biggest hacking communities?Shadowcrew. After spending time in prison, he now works with businesses across the globe and uses his experience and insight into this world to help keep them safe.

?Governments worldwide are recognizing that paper-based identification just doesn't cut it for a digital-first economy.? 

Nations across the world are racing to roll out digital identity systems, promising greater convenience, security and efficiency.
