How $140K in freight disappeared without anyone realizing it | Fraud Watch

from FreightCasts · host FreightWaves

A routine shipment turns into a multi-state fraud case involving hacked emails, double brokering, fake identities, and five different MCs. In this episode, Chris Griffin of Direct Traffic Solutions breaks down how a load of frozen steaks was stolen, tracked, and ultimately lost, even after being recovered. The real takeaway is not just how it happened, but where control was lost and how small gaps across brokers, carriers, and facilities allowed it to unfold. This is a clear look at how fraud operates inside normal workflows and what has to change to stop it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
