B) False. The GDPR only applies within the EU, so the fraud examiner in Mexico doesn't have to follow those rules. Easy peasy!

Wait, isn't Mexico not part of the EU? How does GDPR apply there? This is confusing...

Of course the fraud examiner needs to comply with GDPR! Just because the examiner is in Mexico doesn't mean they can ignore EU regulations when handling data from Germany.

I'm not sure about this. Can someone explain why the GDPR would apply in this situation?

I agree with Lezlie. The GDPR applies to any organization processing personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where the organization is based.
