Aprašymas
'A gripping take on how fraud and scamming have become part of our everyday lives' Laura Whateley
For decades, we have thought of scammers as rogue actors - offshore con artists or opportunistic criminals who target the elderly, the ill-informed and the vulnerable, looking to gain access to their money or their identities. But this is no longer the reality.
As Kaf Okpattah, an investigative reporter and ITV journalist reveals, a new generation of fraudsters are harnessing tools like artificial intelligence, encrypted messaging and social media platforms to extend their advantage, committing increasingly audacious crimes with new levels of sophistication and unprecedented rewards. And they are coming for us all.
In this new arms-race of deepfake calls, psychological manipulation and advanced money laundering techniques, these criminals - many of them still teenagers - stay constantly one step ahead of the authorities and are adept at exploiting our social and digital weaknesses.
Having spent months immersed in this shadow world, Okpattah takes you inside the sinister underground domain of Scam Nation. Weaving analysis of the larger structural issues with frontline reporting and gripping narrative detail, he comes face-to-face with the new generation of scammers and offers strategies for how best to protect yourself when the fraudsters inevitably come for you.
