Is it Fraud? Exploring the Thin Line Between Unusual Schemes and Traditional Fraud

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

The word "fraud" is often used to describe identity theft, payment fraud, account takeovers, etc. In this solo episode of the Fraudology podcast, host Karisse Hendrick explores the concept of fraud through unconventional examples. She clarifies the potential harm of bots used to secure popular reservations, the impact of review fraud on companies, boarding scams exploiting Southwest Airlines' processes, and even delves into a humorous story about a man who faked over 20 heart attacks to get out of paying for expensive dinners

Are these cases of fraud? Or, just harmless, opportunistic schemes?
