May 2026 - Group Internet Live (Webinar) - From Cambodia to Your Case File: The Global Scam Industry and the Fight Back
Topic: From Cambodia to Your Case File: The Global Scam Industry and the Fight Back
Erin West is the founder of Operation Shamrock, a global nonprofit uniting law enforcement, industry, and everyday citizens to disrupt the world’s fastest-growing form of transnational organized crime: pig butchering scams.
After 26 years as a prosecutor—including eight on the REACT High-Tech Task Force where she became known for her relentless pursuit of crypto criminals—Erin now leads a cross-border fight to expose the scam economy, mobilize action, and protect both victims and the trafficked workers forced to run these schemes.
She is also the host of Stolen, a podcast that brings listeners inside the darkest corners of the scamdemic, where love is weaponized, billions are laundered, and real people pay the price. A sought-after speaker and educator, Erin continues to equip and inspire audiences around the world to use their skills, platforms, and tools to fight back.

Description: Transnational scam operations now rival the global drug trade in revenue and far exceed it in scale of human exploitation. For CFEs, the convergence of cyber fraud, money laundering, and human trafficking creates both a detection challenge and a professional responsibility. This session maps the growth and gravity of the scamdemic, unpacks the financial and technological infrastructure propping it up, and lays out specific, practitioner-level actions CFEs can take inside their institutions, in their communities, and across cross-sector coalitions.

Prerequisites Required: None Required
Advanced Preparation: Non-Required
Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge

Group Internet-Based Attendance Policy:
Although the ACFE New Jersey 9, Inc. acknowledges that it is the participant’s responsibility to report the appropriate number of credits earned, it consistently maintains a process to monitor individual attendance at group programs to guarantee the correct allocation of CPE credits. The organization recognizes that a participant’s self-certification of attendance alone is insufficient. When conducting group internet-based programs, three polling questions per CPE credit are implemented to establish a real-time monitoring mechanism that verifies participant engagement during the course. These three polling questions per CPE credit are administered at sufficiently frequent intervals and are unpredictable, ensuring that attendees remain engaged throughout the session. Attendee participation is tracked via SLIDO, an application that facilitates real-time engagement through live polls, Q&As, and quizzes. It is the responsibility of attendees to accurately report CPE credits based on their actual time attending the sessions.While the ACFE New Jersey 9, Inc. recognizes that it is the participant’s responsibility to report the appropriate number of credits earned, the ACFE New Jersey 9, Inc. continually maintains a process to monitor individual attendance at group programs to ensure the correct number of CPE credits are assigned.
