-
- How can I enhance security when contacting a potential business partner?
-
Unfortunately, there are many types of cyber fraud. The most common three are as follows: (This information will help you to avoid or prevent potential damages)
- Bank Account Wire (Fraudulent E-mail)
The fraudulent e-mail first originated in Nigeria, but it has spread to a number of other countries. Such fraudulent e-mails are often phrased as an introduction of some sort from a wealthy person (a famous entrepreneur or a government official). They usually say that a client is looking for a place to safely deposit the wealth of the deceased, and that 20~30% of the inheritance would be paid as commission if the recipient provides them with a bank account.
- Quotation Invoice (Personal Information Harvesting)
Some scammers request a quotation invoice in the middle of a transaction. This is to withdraw the victim’s funds and purchase the sample using your name and the company’s reputation. Please be aware that the stolen identity can be used in other frauds.
- Credit Card Fraud
Be extra careful when a business partner you have met online offers to make a payment solely with by check or by credit card. There is a risk that a counterfeit check or stolen credit card will be used and you will ultimately become a victim of fraud if you accept such a payment condition.
