World Business Report

Available for over a year

Carole Gratzmuller is head of a French business that fell victim to CEO fraud. Criminals forged Carole's identity in emails to one of the company accountants. They tricked the accountant into initiating around $500,000 in wire transfers out of the company accounts, thinking she was following instructions from Carole herself. Luckily not all the money went through. She tells the 麻豆社's Marie Keyworth how she found out the fraudsters were impersonating her for financial gain.
