"Mr. Wells has done it again! Like a computer program, he consistently uses his inherent abilities to filter complex fraud schemes, as written by those who found them, into simple truths complete with prevention and detection techniques. As the world becomes more digital by the day, anyone seriously interested in fighting fraud will need to equip themselves with the appropriate tools, and the Computer Fraud Casebook provides a perfect road map for this journey."

42 real-life case studies reveal the underbelly of computer fraud
Today's businesses are completely reliant on technology.The bad part about computers is that they enhance fraudsters' abilities to carry out their costly and nefarious schemes. The good part is the very computers used to carry out these crimes can also help solve them. Spanning e-mail fraud, online auction fraud, security breaches, counterfeiting, and much more, Joseph Wells' Computer Fraud Casebook is packed with forty-two real case studies, written by the ACFE members who investigated them. Outlining how each fraud was engineered, how it was investigated, and how the perpetrators were brought to justice, Computer Fraud Casebook empowers readers with the knowledge and skills to detect and prevent cyber fraud.
