Etz Blog - Fraud

A quick search of YouTube on the search term ‘forging signatures’ turns up many ‘informative and instructional’ videos, some that have been viewed tens of thousands of times.

Some examples suggest that such practices are merely a distraction for bored juveniles. However in the hands of seasoned and determined fraudsters these techniques show that timesheet signature forgery is quite literally child’s play.
