Show Notes
The global scam crisis has become an "industrial revolution for fraud," fueled by AI weaponization, deepfakes, and voice cloning that make sophisticated scams nearly indistinguishable from reality, resulting in combined losses across major economies exceeding $70 billion in 2024-2025. We examine how international criminal networks are exploiting instantaneous payment systems like PIX and UPI and targeting unexpected demographics, such as the 18-34 age group, who are identified as prime targets in most markets. Finally, this episode dissects the coordinated defenses that are showing promise, including the UK's mandatory reimbursement rules for Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud and the deployment of real-time intelligence-sharing "fusion cells" in Australia.
