Banks, corporations, corner grocery stores, the guy walking down a street who gets approached for a loan from someone who claims his wallet was stolen and he needs a few euros for a meal and petrol to get home .. everyone is a fortune teller of sorts, and some of them invest quite a lot in fraud / trust and safety teams, AIML and so on.
