最近,协会调查部门Signum Services,处理了多起“货单”诈骗案件,因此呼吁各会员保持警惕,尤其在这个时节更应格外注意。
犯罪分子常用的方法是篡改受害人的邮件,通常是载有要求付款内容的邮件。原始邮件发送后不久,诈骗分子会冒充真正的发件人随即发送另一份邮件。诈骗分子会制作一份与受害人邮件格式一模一样的副本,但会略微篡改邮件的信头,通常只改一个字母。新的邮件中,诈骗分子会谎称最初的收款账户出现了问题,进而要求将款项付至其他账户。而这个账户则是诈骗分子作案前已开立好的账户。

Invoice Frauds
Signum Services have dealt with several cases of ‘invoice’ fraud recently and ask that members to be extra vigilant, especially at this time of year.
The usual method used is for the criminal to hack the victims email traffic, usually where a payment is being requested. A short time after the original email is delivered the fraudster will send a follow up message purporting to be the genuine sender. The fraudster will have made an exact copy of the victim’s email format and will have slightly altered the email header, often changing just one letter. The new email will allege that there is some problem with the account to where payment had originally been requested and ask that the payment is now made to a subsidiary account. This will be one that the fraudster had opened earlier.
