Digital Fraud Responder
Digital Fraud is a growing issue in the modern age. Criminals are increasingly targeting their victim’s digital footprint and presence in order to commit fraud against them. 44% of higher scale losses is based or originates in digital attacks. With an increasing number of attackers targeting more vulnerable members of the community such as the elderly and Police resources dwindling, resulting in a very poor response when a member of the public calls for help, there has never been more need for a professional response to fraud from the private sector.
Our Digital Fraud Responder training package equips learners with the necessary skills to respond, investigate and identify the component elements of the criminality. Once these skills are achieved learners will then be taught how to mitigate risk against the victim and identify opportunities for the recovery of money, evidence recovery to support a prosecution against the offenders and leave victims in a far better place and mindset than they found them in.
