Regulators and monetary establishments are investing effort in designing consciousness campaigns within the type of TV commercials (TVCs) to lift consciousness about fraudsters and their ways with the target of decreasing prospects’ tendency to have interaction with them. There may be additionally a rising assist for utilizing outcome-based surveys (OBS) to check the effectiveness of such TVCs. Easy surveys that collect proof on reported behaviour fall in need of measuring effectiveness provided that people depart from rational behaviour beneath the affect of behavioural biases.
