Estonian Department of State Infosystems warns business
Publishedо 16 August, 2017
A fraudulent scheme of money laundering from legal entities became widespread in the Internet. According to the Department of State infosystems of Estonia, frauds send rather appropriate emails, which are similar to the ordinary business ones, to employees of financial companies on behalf of the boss with the Bank details and a request to make international transfer to the account number specified in the letter.
The scheme is designed so that the accountant does not verify the validity of the instructions and transfers money to the account of scams.
Representatives of the Department strongly recommend to financial workers, accountants, who received a demand letter to transfer money to an international account, to call the supervisor and establish the veracity of the letter. If the fraud was discovered, the Department of State Infosystems of Estonia asks to report the incident to the Department. This will help to detect frauds and protect the colleagues from losing money.
