Description

Free webinar briefing on Business Email Compromise, with speakers from the FBI Tampa office and Taray International on September 8, 2021. Organized by the U.S. Commercial Service Tampa Bay, with support from Global Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay Organization of Women in International Trade (TBOWIT). In 2020, the Internet Crime Complaint Center received 19,369 Business Email Compromise complaints with adjusted losses of over $1.8 billion. That doesn’t include victims outside the U.S. and unreported losses. Scammers primarily target U.S. businesses that work with foreign suppliers/buyers or regularly perform wire transfer payments. The scam succeeds by compromising legitimate business email accounts through social engineering or computer intrusion techniques. Businesses of all sizes are targeted, and the fraud is proliferating. Join our free briefing on Wednesday, September 8 to learn how to spot the red flags as well as techniques on how to protect your company.
