Probably to no one's surprise, there are lots of people out there who want to steal others' money--yours, mine and that of companies.

What's helpful is understanding what to look out for to avoid becoming the victim and what you can do to make yourself a less likely target.

In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to Greg Taylor, a certified fraud examiner and author of the book People Want to Steal Your Money.

Greg is the Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Corporate Audit Partners.

In this interview, Greg shares a few of the lessons he's learned from his 20-plus-year career as a forensic accountant.

He tells a few stories and discusses why fraud is so prevalent in the corporate world.

Greg also reveals a surprise or two along the way.

It's a reminder that bad actors always have a motive and are always looking for opportunities. Don't make it easy for them by failing to protect your personal data.
