False South African Identity Documents
Identity document forgery is the process by which ID documents issued by governing bodies are copied and/or modified by persons not authorized to create such documents or engage in such modifications, for the purpose of deceiving those who would view the documents about the identity or status of the bearer. The term also encompasses the activity of acquiring identity documents from governing bodies by falsifying the required supporting documentation in order to create the desired identity.
Such falsified documents can be used for identity theft, age deception, illegal immigration and organized crime.
Detection of a “genuine fake” document is a difficult process; as such a fake is a legitimate document, it will pass any tests for forgery. To detect such fakes, it is necessary to perform a background check to confirm the legitimacy of the document’s information. Identity documents can further be examined under an ultraviolet and white light table to check for any changes made to the document.
The green bar coded South African ID has virtually no built in security features. It will take an amateur with only a couple of basic tools only a few minutes to change the document. We are uncovering numerous fake documents on a daily basis – with the impact ranging from obtaining grants that are supposed to be paid to the poor, to a false identity with which a crime is committed or illegal aliens operating as South African citizens.
We have affective solutions to combat both scenarios for much cheaper than you think!
False South African Drivers Licenses
Many professions require the employee to have a valid driver’s licence. This is necessary for insurance purposes and also to ensure that some protection and good care is given to company vehicles which those individuals may be entrusted with driving.
Failure to have a valid drivers licence is the single most quoted reason for insurance companies rejecting accident claims. South Africa has one of the highest drivers licence fraud rates in the world, with estimates of the numbers of invalid drivers licenses of over 20 percent. Out of a group of 20 people, 4 will have a false drivers license.
In fact, you can ever order a false drivers license over the internet and have it delivered to your door. See example below:
Under these circumstances, it is nothing short of recklessness not to ensure that all Drivers Licences and Professional Driving Permits in your company are validated as genuine.
Criminal Records
A considerable number of employees have previous criminal convictions.
These days the only way to check criminal records is trough the use of an AFIS system, where electronic fingerprints are taken and submitted for verification. Companies need to buy special equipment, pay licence fees, and have a Certified Biometrics officer (which has to undergo special training) at hand to take these fingerprints. A lot of smaller companies just can’t afford all these requirements.
Let us take the pain out of criminal record checks for your company.
Fast, effective and for considerably less than what you would expect!
Understanding Retail Shrinkage
Shrinkage refers to the unexplained or unauthorized loss of inventory, merchandise, cash or any other asset from a retail establishment by employee theft, shoplifting, organized retail crime, administrative errors and vendor fraud.
According to the NRA survey, most retail shrinkage is caused by employee theft, representing almost half of the losses (47 percent).
The survey also found that organized retail crime (ORC is a relatively low-risk, high-reward crime conducted by fairly sophisticated and skilled groups of criminals. The thefts usually involve specific small, high-priced items that have a high resale value on the black market, such as baby formula, coffee, steaks, cigarettes, smoking cessation products, eyeglass frames, over-the-counter health products, razor blades, fragrances, batteries, electronic goods, printer ink cartridges, power tools and athletic apparel) is on the increase, with retailers having invested little to curb the problem. Although many assume that most of a retail company’s shrinkage is the result of shoplifting, more thefts and losses from stores are internal, committed by employee’s.
