Research Defender: Data Too Good to be True? Detecting and Fighting Modern Fraud

Join Rep Data for an overview of how bad actors commit fraud in the modern research environment and why it is so hard to detect and combat. Vignesh Krishnan, Rep Data's CTO, will show how bad actors use tech to camouflage who they are and where they are in order to defraud researchers. Steven Snell, Head of Research, will further demonstrate that routine efforts to clean or trick fraudsters fail to identify bad actors. Finally, we will quantify the threat of hard-to-detect fraud in survey research, showing the prevalence of several types of fraud and how responses from fraudulent actors differ from qualified respondents in various domains.
