In this episode of Fraudology host Karisse Hendrick explores two major developments in today’s fraud ecosystem. She begins with a detailed walkthrough of a recent DOJ case involving U.S.-based collaborators supporting Indian call-center scams that defrauded older Americans of more than $40 million. Drawing from court filings, Karisse explains the “opener/closer/money transmitter” phases, cross-border coordination, and how investigators pieced the scheme together.

She then examines a new Reuters report alleging that Meta derived a significant share of revenue from scam and prohibited ads—along with internal metrics showing billions of fraudulent impressions served daily. Karisse highlights key findings, industry reactions, and what this means for trust & safety teams and victims caught in the scam lifecycle.

Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.
