The Anatomy of a Scam

Alexis Conran unpacks how a handful of scams, some centuries old, continue catching people out today. He traces the psychological tricks and timeless techniques that give these schemes their staying power, showing why familiarity doesn't guarantee protection. Alexis breaks down these classic cons scam by scam, helping attendees recognise the warning signs before they become victims and approach unfamiliar offers and requests with sharper scepticism.

Trust and Transparency

Alexis Conran examines how to stay safe in an increasingly uncertain world, focusing on the balance between trust and transparency. He shares practical strategies for protecting against deception and fraud without becoming closed off or overly suspicious. Alexis draws on his experience uncovering scams to show attendees how to build genuine trust while staying alert, leaving them better equipped to navigate uncertainty with confidence.

Social Engineering

Alexis Conran explores how social engineering works and why it remains so successful, even against well-trained, security-conscious organisations. He explains how manipulators exploit trust, urgency and human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive information. Alexis shares real examples from his work exposing scammers, giving attendees a clear framework for spotting manipulation tactics and building more resilient habits across their teams.

The Psychology of Deception

Alexis Conran examines how the human brain can be fooled by assumption, unpicking the mental shortcuts that make deception possible. He draws on years of exposing scams and hustles to show how quickly assumptions override scrutiny, even among sharp, experienced audiences. Alexis explains the psychological blind spots exploited by con artists and fraudsters, equipping attendees with a sharper, more questioning approach to the information and people around them.

Why Systems Fail

Alexis Conran looks at why even the most robust security systems fail, arguing that the weakest point is rarely the technology itself but the humans operating it. He explores the decisions, shortcuts and blind spots that undermine strong defences from within. Alexis gives attendees a practical understanding of these human vulnerabilities, helping them close the gaps that scammers and hackers are most likely to exploit.
