Corporate Identity Fraud or so called “Company Hijacking” is unfortunately a fast growing trend in the UK that is currently costing companies in excess of 50 million per year. Corporate Identity Fraud occurs when an individual files paper forms usually 288a, 288b, 288c, 287 or 363a to remove the directors from a company, appoint their own directors and change the registered office address. The fraudsters then proceed to obtain high value items on credit in the name of the company, the items are delivered to the new address and the company is left to foot the bill. |
