In the digital age, scams have evolved into a sophisticated and global phenomenon that affects individuals, businesses, and entire economies. Fraudulent schemes are no longer isolated acts committed by opportunistic criminals; they have developed into organised systems driven by technology, psychology, and financial incentives. The Economics of Scams and Scam Alerts examines this growing challenge through an analytical yet accessible lens, offering readers a deeper understanding of how scams operate, why people fall victim, and how individuals and institutions can protect themselves.The book begins by exploring the economic and behavioural foundations of scams. Fraud is presented not simply as a crime but as a structured activity with identifiable actors, strategies, and incentives. Scammers behave much like entrepreneurs operating in an underground economy. They study markets, identify vulnerable targets, and adapt their methods to exploit new technologies and social trends. By analysing scams through this economic framework, the authors reveal the systematic patterns that allow deception to flourish across different countries and digital platforms.
