Fraud just had its AI upgrade. It’s faster than your payments and industrialised at a global scale.
Welcome to the Scamdemic — a global wave of scams and financial crime growing faster than almost any asset class. We’re joined by Simon Taylor, Head of Strategy at Sardine and Co-Founder of 11:FS.
Together, we unpack how fraud has evolved, why it’s so hard to stop, and what financial institutions, fintechs, and regulators must do now.
Inside the episode:
- Why faster payments = faster fraud
- Deepfakes, fraud-as-a-service, and industrialised scam call centres
- The missed open banking opportunity: building a global “fraud utility”
- Stablecoins, AI agents, and the next wave of attack surfaces
- How to protect customers without killing innovation
Whether you work in banking, fintech, payments, or policy, this episode will change how you think about fraud prevention in the age of AI and real-time payments.
