Identity fraud and scams remain global problems that have ensnared even the most intelligent and financially savvy consumers. Criminals use a fraud playbook, by which they employ psychological warfare to steal money and sensitive information. It has been shown time and again that anyone can be a victim.
Yet a stigma remains around victimization—a common misconception that victims are naïve, unintelligent, uneducated, or experiencing cognitive decline. Victims thus feel helpless, ashamed, alone, and unwilling to report fraud incidents.
