Fraud is as old as time. This session will discuss the motivation for fraud (think deadly sins), and it will trace the history of fraud, with numerous examples, including one where the presenter was a victim. Attendees will learn how they can unknowingly be victims of fraud and understand how to minimize their exposure through a primer on the fraud triangle and the fraud diamond.
