What are some examples of common scams?
• Money Transfer: The operator claims to have a large sum of money, usually millions of dollars, that needs to be transferred to a “safe” bank account abroad. You, as the account holder, are promised a percentage of the huge sum, just for allowing the use of your account. You may be asked to provide blank, signed invoices, letterhead, and bank account information, or to send money for transfer taxes. Many individuals and businesses have found their accounts looted by the persons to whom they sent account information. • Fraudulent Order: The operator usually places a small order, paying with a genuine cashier’s cheque drawn on a foreign bank. The operator then places another, somewhat larger order, again paying with a genuine instrument. Then you receive an order by courier. Your partner urgently needs a large quantity of your product air-shipped. Confident in your partner, you ship, but this time the cashier’s cheque (which looks the same) is a forgery.
