Always interested in risk management, Rayleen has supported many notable organizations over the years.

This training program will discuss common forms of
wire fraud such as account takeover (consumer, corporate, and
institution internal accounts); false invoices/money mules and advance
fee frauds; business email compromise; and supply chain fraud. It will
also discuss wire fraud detection, fraud mitigation, and sound business
practices to thwart attempts.
Every industry is prone to wire transfer fraud. While staggering losses continue to mount, research shows many of the schemes could have been avoided if employees knew what to look for, and if they employed some very simple internal processes.
Wire transfer fraud has been
around almost as long as the payment system itself despite numerous
federal regulations intended to combat the problem. Organized crime
groups continue to profit from wire fraud, especially scams where they
trick real business customers into sending them a wire under false
pretenses.
In just two short months in late
2014, U.S. businesses lost an estimated $180million to one form of wire
fraud alone; many of those businesses didn’t survive the loss. In
mid-2015, one San Jose, CA-based networking equipment company disclosed
it lost $46.7 million through a scam where they unwittingly wired money
to fraudsters.
Criminals are constantly evolving their scams to circumvent your expectations and controls. This course will arm you with vital information on the latest scams fraudsters are using to rob businesses of their assets. From business email compromise to supply chain fraud, every business is at risk as these crafty tricksters are looking for a big payday, from your bottom line.
