The FACT Campaign: Fraud Awareness for Commercial Targets
Competent.
Courteous.
Criminal.
Criminals know how to appear as organized, courteous and professional as your organization does. Why? Because they know that the secret to fooling a victim is to gain your trust and appear above reproach. It's that apparent legitimacy that makes thousands of organizations fall prey to scams every year, ordering goods,often repeatedly, from fraudulent vendors, and paying invoices for services that are never rendered.
