Prove ID 7

Yesterday, saw the seventh Prove-ID Fraud Forum, held at the Oval Cricket Ground.

The forum brings together fraud professionals for a day of intelligence sharing, including a series of fascinating presentations, a merchant panel discussion and networking opportunities.

Highlights of the day included a presentation from DC Shaun McLeary of the National Terrorist Finance Intelligence Unit who showed how CNP fraud and money laundering can fund terrorist activity.

The forum also heard how retailers can work together with the police to deter and prevent fraud, and heard about the successes of past joint projects.

Thankfully, the weather was in our favour allowing delegates to catch some of the action from the Surrey vs. Nottinghamshire match during breaks.

RBS gave their insight into fraud and age verification challenges, adding an acquirer’s perspective to the day’s discussion.

The group also heard from special guest speaker Vernon Coaker, Under Secretary of State for Crime Reduction. Mr Coaker re-affirmed his support for the fraud community, recognizing the problems faced by e-commerce operators; and encouraged those in attendance to study the latest Home Office consultation; the Policing Green Paper.

The Merchant Panel session always proves popular, and this year’s panel consisted of Otto, Panasonic and PKR.com who provided their insight as well as answering questions from the audience.

192 would like to thank all of our guest speakers and panelists, and all those who attended for contributing towards making Prove-ID a success.
