# What The Fraud?

A podcast by Sumsub. Why do smart people fall for scams? How do fraudsters earn our trust? And why do their tricks keep working, even when we know the warning signs? Join investigative journalist Vicky Baker as she explores the human side of fraud, uncovering the stories, tactics, and decisions behind today's most compelling scams. From romance fraud and identity theft to AI-powered deception and online manipulation, What The Fraud?, a podcast by Sumsub, brings together real-life stories and expert perspectives to understand how fraud works, why people fall victim, and what we can do to stop it. Because fraud isn't just about technology or money. It's about people, trust, and the ways both can be exploited. What The Fraud? — where digital fraudsters meet their match.
