The Fraud Boxer Podcast

Scott Adams joins Jordan today to run through his history and take us through some of the common schemes and attacks he saw during his time working for some of the biggest video game studios like Riot, Epic, and Bethesda. We talk about some best practices with regards to disputes in this area like first party ("friendly") fraud and theorize what we think would lead to a better experience in this area. Scott also takes us through what he is up to now with his new agency CNPMentors.com and talks about his upcoming podcast series. Enjoy!  ----------- Scott Adams, CEO/Founder of CNPMentors.com is a veteran payments professional with 20+ years of experience in online business, the card-not-present financial community, and the affiliate marketing community. Scott developed CNPMentors to help merchants get out of chargeback monitoring programs, or better yet, reduce chargebacks and fraud before they happen with education and training plus consulting services.  Scott is a past VP of Friendly Fraud at Kount, Director of Fraud and Risk for Riot Games, a trained keynote speaker, a fixed-wing and rotor-wing pilot, and a purple belt and instructor in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. scott@cnpmentors.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/speakerscotteadams/

"'Your site is terrible' well, what do you do with that? ... do you derail the rest of your optimization efforts to go and fix that one problem? The answer is 'it depends'"   Today on the season 1 finale we have a heavy hitter on the podcast in Bryce Winkelman, Chief Business and Strategy Officer from Quantum Metric to break down what "Customer Experience" really means and why it is COMPLETELY different from customer service.  In the fraud world false positives fall directly into customer experience and giving a bad experience can harm your company and your career. Learn about "Positive Friction" and find out some options you have to optimize the customer experience your department brings during this busy holiday season. This is a dense episode with a lot of excellent content from Bryce and this was one of my favorite episodes to record.
