Frauds suffered by Businesses and Organisations

Invoice Fraud

A key tactic used by fraudsters is to send fake invoices to businesses to trick them into making payments for goods or services that were never provided. Very often these invoices will appear to come from legitimate companies who have an existing relationship with the business.

 

CEO Impersonation Scams

In this scam, fraudsters will impersonate high up company executives, such as the CEO or CFO, to trick employees into transferring funds to a bank account. This will often be done by setting up a fake email, similar to the executives real email, and demanding that money is sent as a matter or urgency.

Business Email Compromise (BEC)

Fraudsters will hack into genuine business email accounts to redirect payments to their own bank accounts. They will also often elicit information from employees which they can use in further scams.

Investment Fraud

This is when fraudsters target businesses with fake investment opportunities. Very often they offer very high returns for little risk.

Charity Scams

Charities are often a key target for fraudsters who consider them to be an easy target. Scammers may also set up fake charities for made-up good causes and ask the public to donate them money.
