International Fraud Awareness Week is an annual global observance highlighting the scourge of fraud in society and the efforts that various sectors are implementing to address this growing challenge. This year, it will be held from 17 November to 24 November.
"The role technology plays in fraud, and scams is becoming particularly challenging in South Africa," says Nazia Karrim, Head of Product Development at the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS), “with South Africa growing into an increasingly connected society, online fraud is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed."
