Online Fraud Detection

Online Fraud Detection icon image

Over recent years the number of internet auction sites and classified ad portals available to fraudsters has grown exponentially.

Goods are unlawfully taken by individual shoplifters looking to make a quick buck or stolen to order by organised crime rings and then offered for sale – at ‘white market’ prices – on these auction sites or placed as a classified adverts and bought by unsuspecting buyers. This practice is commonly referred to as ‘e-Fencing’.

‘Big ticket’, high value and luxury brand items – genuine or counterfeit – are most often traded in this way due to fast turnaround and consumer desirability. With huge advances in smartphone technology, items can be photographed and listed for sale – and even sold – within minutes of being stolen.
