Fighting different types of Mobile Money Fraud

What are the main types of Mobile Money Fraud?
FraudBuster is successful in tackling all types of Mobile Money Fraud:

User targeted fraud: scams, phishing, smishing, vishing, etc…, usually inspired by social engineering. Up to 1/3 of scam victims churn – user targetted fraud. Beyond brand damage, this causes important financial and long lasting customer losses for mobile money operators.

Operator targeted fraud: mainly, though not limited to, agents and dealers exploiting loopholes in bonus and commission structures, eg fake activations, split transactions, agent-merchant loops... These frauds cause direct and important losses for operators.

Government targeted fraud: money laundering (AML) or regulatory/contract violations/circumventions
