Financial Scams: Pig Butchering, Cyber Extortion and Crypto Investigations

Description

This course will focus on the massively growing crime of financial scams and cyber extortion. Investigators will gain hands-on experience investigating financial crimes, money laundering using crypto, scams, pig butchering, cyber extortion such as sextortion, ransomware, phone extortion, dating and elderly scams and more. White collar criminals often attempt to hide financial crimes by utilizing cryptocurrency, gift cards, cash apps, and electronic payments attempting to use anonymous and fake identities.

This is an introductory course for newly sworn investigators and advanced for seasoned investigators. This course will include a discussion and hands-on training. Law enforcement will also gain access to several software tools that are browser based and downloadable. These tools are generously donated to law enforcement and prosecutors only by entrusted software companies such as Blockchain Intelligence Group, Bluestone Analytics, and FinAware.  

Although this course uses the trainer’s real cases, participants will be learning and utilizing the software hands-on gaining valuable experience and developing skills in investigating complex financial investigations. Law enforcement will receive tool explanations, links, usernames, passwords, and keys for the three primary types of software used in this course a few days before the class begins with instructions.

Please note: This training is only for law enforcement or prosecutors. This course requires a computer. Please make sure your IT department has approved the software access before the class begins. Downloadable software will not work on a tablet therefore, a laptop is required.  (2.5-day event).
