4.9/5 (24058 ratings)

Description:FRAUD IS A BIG BUSINESS: Discover the ways fraudsters target us, what future technological threats await us—and how we can protect ourselves.The latest edition in the FUTURES series takes you inside the world of fraud through popular true crime cases, from phone and banking scams to cryptocurrency boondoggles . . .Humans have been ripping each other off since they first discovered the concept of lying but in 300 BC, the first ever official record of a fraud case was made. A merchant in Greece took out an insurance policy, borrowed money and planned to sink his boat. Unfortunately for him, things did not go according to plan. Since then, fraud has become more complex and harder to detect, as technology has evolved. So how can we protect ourselves now and in the future, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?Deeply researched and littered with expert interviews, The Future of Fraud will explore interesting fraud cases past and present, and expose how the technology we depend upon today is also perfectly poised to exploit us: from social media, the dark web and gaming, to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. And as well as parting us from our money, fraud is eroding the trust between humans and the state, and between each other.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 everyone?'I learnt something new on every page. Fifty per cent terrifying, fifty per cent reassuring, this book is like kryptonite when a scammer strikes.' Jeremy Vine'This book is what we’ve been missing, a brilliantly organised account of a social menace. Becky Holmes writes with wit and insight on a subject we all need to get on top of, lest it gets on top of us.' Daniel Finkelstein, columnist for The Times'As an anti-financial crime professional, I couldn’t point to a better and more readable source than this.'
