A consultancy firm based in Singapore has recovered over US$45,000 after being tricked into transferring money to a fraudulent supplier.

This was made possible through a collaborative effort involving the Singapore police, the United Arab Emirates authorities, and Interpol, as reported by The Straits Times.

Investigations showed that an employee had received an email on Sept 12 from someone posing as a supplier. This email informed the company to transfer payment for goods to a new bank account in the UAE. On Sept 18, the employee proceeded with a transfer of US$45,532 to the alleged supplier. Unfortunately, the funds were sent to a fraudulent bank account in the UAE. The scam was uncovered later that day when the real supplier contacted the firm, clarifying that it had not changed its banking details.
