In this solo episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick starts out by providing the story behind the launch of her new company "Silver Bullet" and it's new fraud detection solution, "The Fraudinator". -Which was all an elaborate April Fool's prank (Shoutout to her partner-in-pranks, Frank McKenna). She felt bad for everyone who was legitimately "fooled", but what does that say about how buzzword-y some vendor marketing has gotten? And when will any of them learn that we know the term "Best in Class" is self-appointed & means nothing?

She also gives a short pre-view on the topic of refund claims fraud in retail, and shares that she & next week's guest will be diving into the topic. She also talks a bit about the thousands of "methods" created & sold in criminal forums; including a recently discovered multi-platform exploit (fraud) of private label cards. If only cybercriminals would use their creativity & "problem-solving" skills to make the world a better place...
