New Financial Crime Typologies: What Legacy Systems Miss
In this webinar, Luke Fairweather from Lucinity and Lucie Rehakova from Resistant AI explore how social engineering scams—such as romance fraud, marketplace scams, and fake investments—slip past traditional fraud detection by targeting people, not systems. These scams often begin outside the banking world, through social media, phone calls, or messaging apps, making them hard to catch using standard transaction monitoring. The session walks through real-world examples, shows how money moves during a scam, and highlights how telco and behavioral data can help spot signs of manipulation. You’ll also see how AI and context-aware risk models can support financial institutions in detecting fraud earlier and protecting vulnerable customers.
