Off the Rails from the U.S. Faster Payments Council - FPC · 23 April 2026 Erin West of Operation Shamrock on Payments Scams · 23 Apr 2026 podcast

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm so glad to be here.

Thanks for asking.

I am a former prosecutor.

I was a prosecutor for 26 years in Santa Clara County, California.

And while I was a prosecutor, I worked the last eight years of my career with a high-tech task force where we put bad guys in jail, identity thieves, account takeover people, and SIM swappers.

Really...

ugly work happening on the internet.

And then the last three years of my career, I was really inundated by people who were being hit with pigwitching.

It's a really devastating crime involving a romance that then leads to an investment scam.

And people were losing all of their money.

So ultimately, I retired from I fought it in every way I could as a prosecutor.

And but I realized it deserved more time.

So I when I retired from my work as a prosecutor, I started a nonprofit that fights scams all day, every day.

Awesome.

Well, Operation Shamrock is for exactly all of those type of people.

So what I saw when I was a prosecutor was we were being hit by a new crime.

Like we all understand romance fraud.

We understand investment scams.

But what we had not seen before is the type of crime that was bankrupting people.
