Why do we fall for stories about extremely profitable investments or love letters asking for a transfer? [PODCAST]

Why do people fall for scammers' tricks? Why are they willing to believe incredible stories about extremely profitable investments, love letters written by Brad Pitt, and information about a hacker attack on a bank?

In a series of podcasts carried out as part of the Scamming out! campaign. we talk to outstanding specialists about cyber fraud, ransomware theft, criminals' methods and ways to counteract attacks.

We invite you to listen to the first conversation with Małgorzata Górska, head of HR at Velobank, who has an excellent overview of the problem of cyber fraud, looking at the procedure through the eyes of a banker who deals with clients manipulated by criminals – in the podcast we used a fragment of an authentic call center conversation between a Velobank advisor and a client who insisted on a quick transfer to a fraudulent account.

Małgosia is also a practicing psychologist and psychotraumatologist. He perfectly recognizes and knows the manipulation mechanisms used by criminals. He also understands the tragedy of scam victims, robbed of money, but also of their sense of dignity and feelings, deprived of self-esteem, often full of shame and guilt.

We invite you!
