Cases
Analysis of an event reported in the press or a public source. Each case ends with its source and date. There is no confidential information, client details or workplace case material here.
Insights
Short explanatory articles about mechanisms that recur in fraud. They explain an idea, rather than describe a particular event.
Patterns
The "How fraudsters operate" section contains six patterns of behaviour, not personality types. It does not diagnose people. Any scenario not based on a public source is marked as a hypothetical learning example. Each source is labelled by what was actually checked: what was reviewed and what remains open, in the pattern section's source list.
Distinguishing findings, suspicions and interpretation
A finding is something verifiable from a source. An allegation or suspicion is something published or attributed but not yet decided. A publication is an information source; publication alone does not turn it into a proven fact. Interpretation is my explanation as an investigator. Where there is a difference, I try to state it explicitly.
What is not here
This is not legal or financial advice, and there are no client stories. The content reflects my personal views only and does not represent my employer.
