Fraud in Trucking takes on many forms in an Age of AI where thieves have unbelievable technology and time

LOOK CLOSER AT THE IMAGE: Stealing Identities Is Simpler Than You Think

  In truth we duplicated a real person, then used AI to change it.   We then duplicated and modified the face and put it on several I.D.  We asked a manager of a truck stop if she could tell which I.D. was fake.  She couldn't.  We even made a video of our Phil. our John Doe, playing with her kids.   The paperwork was much simpler, truckers, brokers, and customers almost make it to easy.

  How? We started with an actual stock photo and duplicated it with AI. We even created a video and can put Phil's image on a Facebook, or LinkedIn in page. We can even duplicate the actual trucker or owner's voice and have he or she carry on a conversation with you on the phone or video.  The paperwork?  You can buy someones or a companies identity on the dark web, or just guess, most passwords are so easy.  Do you store your documents in a public cloud? Those people who manage them overseas for a few dollars and hour, they've got to make a living.

  Verify MC sees through all that by linking a person, with a place, and a thing, their phone. We can even put a digital fence around a person or business.

Carrier Identity Theft

 Cyber thieves steal the identity of a legitimate trucking company, often by obtaining their USDOT number, MC authority, and contact details from public databases or through hacking.

After gaining the assignment, they switch roles to act as an unauthorized broker, reassigning the load to a legitimate but unwitting carrier at a lower rate. The scammers pocket the payment difference, often disappearing without compensating the actual hauler, or use the process to facilitate cargo theft by directing the load to fraudulent destinations. 

Double Brokering Fraud

In this scam, perpetrators pose as a authorized carrier using fake or stolen identities to secure a freight load from a broker via load boards or direct outreach.

After gaining the assignment, they switch roles to act as an unauthorized broker, reassigning the load to a legitimate but unwitting carrier at a lower rate. The scammers pocket the payment difference, often disappearing without compensating the actual hauler, or use the process to facilitate cargo theft by directing the load to fraudulent destinations. 

Fuel Advance Scam

Fraudsters, pretending to be a trucking company or driver with a valid CDL, use impersonated credentials to book a load with a broker.

Shortly after, they request an advance payment for fuel or other expenses via quick-pay methods like Comchecks or wire transfers. Once the money is received, the scammers vanish without picking up the load, forcing the broker to rebook with a real carrier at additional cost while absorbing the lost advance.

Fictitious Pickup and Cargo Theft

Scammers create phantom trucking companies with forged documents, fake websites, and spoofed phone numbers to appear legitimate and secure loads from brokers. 

They then dispatch impostor drivers—who may have obtained or faked a CDL—to pick up the cargo under the guise of a real haul. After loading, the thieves divert the truck to a hidden location, steal the goods, and abandon the shipment, resulting in total loss for the broker and shipper. 

Account Takeover and Invoice Fraud

Cyber criminals hack into brokers' or carriers' accounts on load boards, email systems, or payment platforms using phishing or malware.

Posing as legitimate parties, they alter invoices to reroute payments to their own accounts, create fake bookings by impersonating carriers, or intercept communications to demand ransoms for "held" loads. This digital impersonation exploits trust in the supply chain, leading to diverted funds and disrupted operations.
