Learning from Fraudsters – Reinforcing the Message

A second report based on follow-up interviews with fraudsters has been published. The work was undertaken for Protiviti and includes interviews with a range of different types of fraudsters, including those who committed passport frauds and were caught when leaving the country, a fraudster who adopted identities, and theft from employers including someone who stole from a school and two who stole from a casino. They were influenced by family and friends who taught them how to steal, and were driven by a variety of motives including debt and an inability to handle money, and some were fleeing from persecution. The report builds on work undertaken for Protiviti and published in 2005, all the case studies in this second report are completely new.
