Identifying Scams and Fraud

1. Typical Work Scenarios

  • Morning: Analyze alert data to identify frequent refund scams involving fake customer service in a specific region; coordinate with telecom providers to block spoofed numbers in bulk.
  • Afternoon: Go undercover in scam groups to collect evidence; guide banks to urgently freeze 20 fraudulent accounts, recovering $800,000 in losses.
  • Evening: Host a livestream explaining student job scams, breaking down real cases that use tactics like “early cashback bait + later coercive payment traps.”

2. Key Challenges

  • Technological Arms Race: Scammers now use AI-generated voices and deepfake videos. Anti-fraud tools must continuously evolve.
  • Human Vulnerability: Over 70% of victims ignore warnings, convinced they are not being scammed — a psychological phenomenon known as cognitive dissonance.
  • Legal Lag: New types of fraud, such as those involving metaverse virtual assets, are difficult to legally define and require lengthy international investigations.

3. The Broader Significance of Anti-Fraud Work

“Every intercepted scam call may protect a family’s entire savings; dismantling one fraud network can stop harm to thousands.”

Anti-fraud work is not just a technical battle — it is a frontline defense of human decency.
When the elderly no longer fall into despair from scams, when students are spared from life-destroying loan traps — that is the true value of professional anti-fraud efforts.
