I have 30 years entrepreneurial and corporate business experience in security, training, information technology, software development, internet, financial services, logistics, travel and tourism, property development and property insurance services.

The combination of my business experience and insights into scams, fraud and social engineering through personal exposure equips me to provide unique insights and cutting edge, innovative social engineering, scam, fraud and economic crime solutions.

As the social engineering specialist at Mercury Advisors I provide solutions, insights, education and training on the operation of social engineering, scams, fraud and economic crime.

I have in depth understanding of the mind, motives, and techniques of manipulation and methods of operation of people who become involved in social engineering, scams and fraud.

I am a reformed fraudster having served a prison sentence for a fraud scheme of 372 million Rand and I now dedicate my time and expertise to fraud and social engineering prevention.

I specialise in the critical "people" component of fraud, social engineering and economic crime.

My services enable my clients to understand the "people" risk they face. This places them in a position to assess the suitability of their current corporate structures, value systems, governance and fraud management plans to withstand social engineering attacks both internal and external.

I have particular expertise in corporate structures and their use in fraud, money laundering, asset misappropriation and the dispersal of funds. This knowledge and experience is invaluable in educating my clients in the design of methods and mechanisms to prevent these activities.

As part of my service offering I assist clients in the design and implementation of changes to their corporate structures to deal with and minimise the threat of fraud and abuse that emanate from human behaviour under the influence of social engineering.

Advance Fee (Nigerian 419) Frauds and Internet scams are my one of my specialities and I educate people and communities in the avoidance and resolution of these activities through Scam Stop and by consultation with corporate clients.
