Coronavirus-related fraud What businesses need to know Unfortunately, criminals see the international emergency caused by the novel Coronavirus as an opportunity to prey on their victims. All organizations should take great care to make themselves familiar with the trends of COVID-19-related fraud identified by U.S. and foreign government agencies so organizations can detect criminal activity and alert law enforcement. In addition, financial institutions should update their compliance programs and due diligence practices in accordance with these trends of COVID-19-related fraud to prevent Government actions for not filing the appropriate suspicious activity reports for transactions linked to COVID-19. This webinar will give an overview of the trends of COVID-19-related fraud identified by U.S. and foreign Government agencies, and some of the best practices that organizations can implement to detect that criminal activity.

CORONAVIRUS-RELATED FRAUD WHAT BUSINESSES NEED TO KNOW Marta Colomar, Administrative Managing Partner George Diaz, Partner Javier Coronado Diaz, Associate Attorney FIBA - May 1 st , 2020 Info.: mcolomar@diazeus.com
INTRODUCTION • Fraudsters take advantage of fear around the COVID-19 to steal money from unsuspecting businesses and costumers. • Historically, criminals seek to exploit difficult times for their own gain. • During the 2008 financial crisis, investment fraud and other consumer scams were rampant. • Fraudulent transactions increased in the wake of the 2017 hurricanes and wild fires. • Benefits fraud • Charities fraud • Cyber-Related fraud
INTRODUCTION • Governments are offering economic impact payments in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak, creating an additional criminal niche. • Criminals can use social engineering tactics to target their victims. • Businesses and financial institutions have fewer resources to review an avalanche of alerts. • Financial institutions are still required to meet their legal obligations. • Financial institutions are also required to design and implement a “business continuity plan. ” It’s the perfect storm! A good first step is to meet our enemy: the trends of COVID-19-related fraud that have been identified by government agencies.
CORONAVIRUS-RELATED FRAUDS TARGETTING BUSINESSES Imposter Scams • Public health scams: messages from fraudsters that claim to be from government agencies, international organizations, or public health offices, to solicit payments, steal personal information, or distribute malware. • Charitable donations: criminals impersonating charities to solicit payments.
Example of Public Health Scam
CORONAVIRUS-RELATED FRAUDS TARGETTING BUSINESSES • Government check scams: to obtain an illegal payment and/or your personal and corporate information, criminals call or email making false representations about economic-impact payment. • Supply scams: websites that mimic the look of well-known online retailers to take your money and/or information. • Robocall scams: illegal robocalls pitching bogus test kits, sanitation supplies, low-priced health insurance, work-at-home schemes, Medicare benefits, among others, to steal personal or corporate information.
