Fraudster Psychology 7

Looking at the psychology of a fraudster, and  looking at the second prong of the fraud triangle, it is somewhat easy to see that if someone is a passive fraudster vs. an active fraudster, then there is a vast difference in the psychological makeup between the two.  Once again, the second prong of the fraud triangle is the opportunity for fraud.

     An active fraudster is always looking for the opportunity to commit a fraud.  He is not just "stumbling into" a fraud event - if he cannot find an opportunity, he will make one.

     A passive fraudster is a person who stumbles into an opportunity and decides to take advantage of it. 

      A person can protect oneself against passive fraud by instituting fraud controls talked about previously on this blog.  Active fraud is another matter.
