The Future of Fraud

Fraud is big business: not only is it one of the easiest crimes to commit, but it's also one with the most lenient punishments. So how can we put a stop to it, how can we protect ourselves, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for? Deeply researched and filled with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud explores interesting fraud cases past and present, from the first officially recorded case of a Greek sea merchant attempting to commit insurance fraud in 300 BC, to today's sophisticated technology perfectly poised to exploit via social media, the dark web, gaming, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for all?
