Personal fraud on the rise

Personal fraud like banking scams, job application, identity theft etc have been around for sometime but seems they’re intensifying. The Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS), says there has been a 32% increase in fraud incidents reported to it last year just last year alone. Guest: Roy Retief, Head of Operations at the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service 32% last year, what’s behind the rise? What are the types of frauds / scams you are seeing right now? 45% in banking fraud? How would you rate the steps our banks have taken to prevent fraud and are they effective? Which provinces would you say are leading with these? Online scams that sounds too good to be true is still a problem? Why as consumers or people in general are we still scammed no matter how many warnings we receive? How can we be more vigilant? What about people who run small businesses - are they also at risk in terms businesses information? But, criminals are becoming smarter now and always one step ahead? I understand you have a Fraud Summit coming up, what will you be discussing there?
