About this listen

You’re far more likely to be a victim of financial crime than to ever encounter a serial killer. True crime often obsesses over gore and rare, extreme violence - while financial crime happens every day, in plain sight, to ordinary people. People like you. It doesn’t leave blood behind. It leaves shame, crippling self-doubt and echoing silence. Through short, hard-hitting episodes and longer interviews with leading experts, academics and investigators, this podcast exposes the psychology, pressure and bias behind scams and fraud - so you recognise the danger before you’re the next victim.Zoe Taylor True Crime

    - How to spot a traced or simulated signature.

    - Why the Grief Gap is the most dangerous time for a family's finances.
