Email hacking scams and offshore payee mismatch represent the #1 loss of capital in international sourcing. Verify bank beneficiary coordinates before wire transfer.
How international buyers lose thousands of dollars due to unchecked transaction documents.
The supplier is registered as "Ningbo Manufacturer Co., Ltd." in mainland China, but they ask you to send funds to "Hong Kong Sourcing Trading Limited." If the shipment is defective or never arrives, you have zero recourse to recover funds from the manufacturer.
Hackers monitor the supplier's emails. Right before you wire the deposit, they intercept the communication and send a "revised Proforma Invoice" claiming their bank is undergoing audits and requests payment to a new account.
Using unverified second-tier payment aggregators (e.g. personal accounts or generic trading agents) makes tracking the final destination of funds extremely difficult, raising significant compliance and money laundering risks.
We run automatic and manual risk analysis on your payment documents.
We parse the beneficiary name and company name against official Chinese and Hong Kong business registries to see if there is any corporate shareholder relationship.
We analyze the SWIFT code, bank headquarters country, and branch routing coordinates to verify consistency with the supplier's declared location.
We audit the official Chinese round red seal stamp on the invoice to check registration code readability and cross-match it against legal entity records.
