It’s time to move from talk to action. Scams are growing at an exponential rate. It’s an epidemic that we’re all experiencing, where the human costs are enormous.

The solution is to work together.

We will put together these best practices, to share them and refine them with you, our clients, prospects, and anyone who cares about moving the dial on the scam volume we see.

We’ll have workshops and roundtables, designed to figure it out. How do we get behind a set of industry initiatives? How can we take action?

Join us!

Past speakers

"The smartest social engineering that criminals have done is to have us believe they're stupid. The grammar errors aren't mistakes. They're strategic. Underestimation is a key part of their playbook.”
Dr. Nicola Harding, Criminologist at Lancaster University
"Scams are evolving at lightning speed. They're studied and tested like R&D. We have to realize the size of the problem and come together to come up with a solution. This is our opportunity to create a safer financial future.”
Erin West, Founder of Operation Shamrock
"Once people see an agent complete a purchase safely, it becomes normal. Comfort follows a clean first experience.”
Marco Mahrus, Commercial Partnerships at OpenAI
"With instant payments, your payment strategy and fraud strategy have to go hand in hand or you’ll speed up losses instead of cash flow.”
Ahon Sarkar, SVP & GM of Helix at Q2
"Instant payments are a game changer for small business cash flow needs. But you need to change the way you tackle fraud. It has to happen just as fast as the payment, or faster.”
Arjun Ramakrishnan, Head of Risk at GoDaddy Payments
"No one has an end-to-end view of fraud. The only way to stay ahead is through shared data, shared context, and shared responsibility.”
Steven Bufferd, Managing Director at J.P. Morgan
