Avoid saying you do not stay current on the latest trends. There are many different avenues available to keep current on the latest trends, and the interviewer wants to hear that you take advantage of the information that is out there. If you do not follow the industry trends, the interviewer will determine that you lack the passion and motivation to improve your knowledge as a Fraud Investigator.
