Interesting information.

It has come to some of the committee member's knowledge that recently, there are some people that cheated some carriers and forwarders of goods by means of fraudulent documents. It was made known that certain people gives fake bill of ladings, all endorsed and signed in exchange for D/O. With this D/O, goods will be transloaded and send to a third country. From the cases that we have heard of, the goods will be cleared in less than 24 hours upon reaching the destination.

When the actual consignee in Malaysia goes to carrier to exchange D/O, it was too late. SFFLA would like to remind its members to be very wary and careful of such practice. It might not be eradicated but the least that we can do is to minimise it. Prevention is better than cure.
