The Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) is hosting a live event, “Confronting the New Face of Fraud,” in Portland with ACAMS Global.

Speakers will expose the scale and human toll of today’s most dangerous scams — from multibillion-dollar pig-butchering schemes to sophisticated AI-driven social engineering attacks. Hear from leaders on the front lines of investigation, compliance, and cybersecurity who are shaping the response to this global crisis.

Operation Shamrock’s Erin West will deliver an unflinching briefing on pig-butchering scams, the multibillion-dollar fraud crisis linked to organized crime and human trafficking. Erin will explain how these scams exploit human trust, devastate victims, and overwhelm institutions worldwide.

‍Following her presentation, ACAMS’s Craig Timm will host a fireside chat to explore broader scam and social engineering trends and how AI-powered protection is changing the fight against fraud.
