What The Fraud?

Fraud Fuelling Digital Inequality

Listen on

Episode notes

"Why are we trying to change the 3% of people who stammer in the UK? Why aren’t we educating the 97% of people who don’t?” 


Fraud isn’t victimless — it’s a powerful engine for bias, hitting marginalised communities hardest and driving inequality. In this episode, Claire Maillet joins Thomas to uncover how fraud fuels digital-age discrimination and what stakeholders can do to fight back. 


Claire is an award-winning fraud expert, PhD researcher, and advocate for disability and mental health awareness. Claire regularly speaks about the impact of speech impediments on counter fraud controls as someone that comes at it from both sides — a customer who stammers, and a counter-fraud professional working in the financial services.
