An evening with Tracy Hall , survivor of Australia’s most infamous conman.
Fraud and scams are no longer a niche risk. In 2024 alone, over $1 trillion was stolen globally and most of it didn’t happen through hacked systems… it happened through hacked humans.
In this extraordinary keynote, Tracy Hall shares the real story behind Who the Hell Is Hamish, the hit investigative podcast that exposed one of Australia’s most prolific conmen. Tracy was Hamish McLaren’s final victim. The man she loved wasn’t who he said he was, and over $317,000 of her life savings disappeared with him.
What follows is not a crime story; it’s a masterclass in how trust is manipulated, how scams really work, and why even smart, successful people are at risk.
Through gripping storytelling and sharp insight, Tracy takes us inside the world of intimate fraud, social engineering, and the rapidly evolving role of AI in modern scams, revealing how criminals now weaponise technology faster than most businesses can defend against it.
