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 ongoing 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. They will often do this by setting up a fake email account or by contacting via email and demanding that money is sent as a matter of 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 use the charity to siphon money to themselves, or who take charity for inside good causes and use the public to donate them money.
