Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this episode of Fraudology, we're joined again by Andrew Austin, a seasoned expert in fraud prevention, as he shares the significance of networking and building trustworthy relationships for career advancement in the fraud industry. Andrew talks about his engaging "Fraud Fridays in February" initiative, where he opened his calendar to anyone in the fraud, AML, cybercrime, or the law enforcement community, emphasizing the unmatched value of personal connections over cold call tactics.

Our host, Karisse Hendrick, and Andrew delve into the finer points of creating genuine rapport through their candid and sometimes comical experiences, including Andrew's lighthearted social media antics as the "Famous fraud guy." They discuss the caution required in today's digital networking age against potential fraudsters, the nuances of vendor relationships, and the positive outcomes of non-agenda-driven communication.

Listen now for rich insights on the blend of professionalism and personality in networking, and why trust and collaboration take precedence over sales in fostering long-term industry partnerships.
