CFPS — Crypto Fraud Prevention Specialist · Final Exam
Foundations of fraud intelligence at agency standard: scam architecture (lead-gen → grooming → conversion → extraction → laundering), social-engineering playbooks, victim psychology, OSINT triage, and evidence preservation under chain-of-custody discipline.
100 scenario-based multiple-choice questions · pass mark 80/100 (80%). Every question has exactly one best-supported answer; distractors are intentionally plausible. Retakes allowed — your highest score counts. Diploma auto-issued to your account name on pass.

Before you begin
- Allow 60–90 minutes of uninterrupted, focused time.
- Read every stem carefully — the difficulty is in the discrimination between defensible options, not in trick wording.
- When two options look correct, pick the one most directly supported by the evidence/method described in the stem.
- CFPS is a professional credential — answer as a working analyst would write into a report under their own name.
