Exclusive preview: How fraudsters find weak spots
In this snippet, asked how he finds vulnerabilities, reformed fraudster turned advisor Alex Wood, says if he couldn’t find one, he’d create one. He breaks down a typical bank scam opener (“unusual transactions”) designed to worry the victim. If there’s no weakness, a fraudster will manufacture one. The easiest vulnerability to create? Worry and panic. This is the psychological entry point behind countless “bank” scams.
