Personalities most likely to be victims of scammers

A new study by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has identified the 20% of people most likely to fall victim to scams and cons.

A very interesting study showing that likely candidates were often successful business men and people with extensive experience in the area the scams were targeted.

It is human nature that we can fall victim to cons (especially in a pressurised business environment where we encourage people to take any advantage) but this can be very costly if it is your companies funds or data that are the ultimate target. The two pillars to mitigate your risk are systemic controls and staff education. If you are concerned and need help contact FaberBrent.
