CRIMINAL fraud in the global supply chain has become a primary and growing threat, according to international freight transport insurer TT Club, reports London's Loadstar.
"Specific examples include the intentional submission of false invoices purportedly from an established supplier but actually generated by a fraudster infiltrating the online payment system and duplicated or inflated invoices," said TT Club loss prevention chief Mike Yarwood.
"Other cases, falling into the category of mandate fraud, experience criminal deception by manipulation of bank transfer details by a fraudster pretending to be an organisation paid regularly by the operator by hacking into the victim's email traffic and imitating a genuine supplier alter bank transfer details for payment of a legitimate invoice," Mr Yarwood said.
The almost exclusive use of online facilities to process business transactions allows a myriad of fraudulent pursuits to find opportunities within the complexities of the global supply chain," said the London-based insurer.
"These have many manifestations; from payment fraud that involves existing mandates and impersonation of executives to procurement fraud featuring false invoicing," said the company statement.
"Carrier fraud, in which criminals imitate hauliers and other sub-contractors, including drivers with falsified documents, accounted for 84 per cent of TT claims involving fraud or deception in 2022.
"TT is eager to pinpoint these risks and offer advice to industry on how to not just identify potential fraud but to minimise and avoid losses through them," said the press release.
