Shownotes
Fraudology is presented by Sardine.
In the second half of Karisse's conversation with Hailey Windham, Hailey shares one of her biggest passions: spreading fraud awareness information within her organization, as well as her community and beyond. While in some organizations, it can seem like no one would be interested in learning about fraud & scams targetting their customers and/or the financial institution that she works for, Hailey has witnessed just the opposite.
- In July 2021, Hailey launched an internal podcast for her credit union titled "The Tea" (Training, Education, and Awareness); this once-a-month audio file is uploaded to the company intranet for any employee to listen to. And the success stories of fraud scams avoided have been overwhelming!
- The Podcast also allows leadership & cross-functional departments to better understand the vastness of Hailey's role as the "Financial Crimes Investigator" as she provides informational tidbits and demonstrates how so many other departments intersect with fraud in one way or another.
- Hailey has also started working with the Governor of South Carolina & others in her state government to include spam & fraud prevention awareness in within new education curriculum, as well as to recognize International Fraud Awareness Week
- Hailey also shares advice for fraud-fighters who are worried their leadership will turn down requests to creatively share preventative information about fraud/scams, and encourages everyone to share what trhey can.
