Dear Friends,

The road between the exporters and the importers is littered with watermelon skins, banana skins (very slippery), potholes and even landmines! We have many documented cases of how exporters and importers had lost millions of dollars due to ignorance of the risks, traps and pitfalls in international trade.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat"

Therefore, to avoid risks, traders must armed themselves with a wealth of practical knowledge on documentary credits, Incoterms, transport documents, chartering, trade frauds and cargo insurance.

T.O. Lee’s International Trade Seminars Series is an unique, and innovative training and development programme on international trading techniques not available in the market before.

Module 3:

HOW TO DETECT FOOTPRINTS IN FRAUDULENT LETTER OF CREDIT DOCUMENTS

 

INTRODUCTION

Fraudulent letters of credit and fraudulent documents are plaguing bankers every year, resulting heavy financial losses. After the economy of Malaysia is weakened by the Asian Financial flu and further aggravated by foreign exchange control in Malaysia, fraudulent L/C and fraudulent documents are increasing at an alarmingly rate and yet very few L/C fraud cases are reported each year. The reason is simple. The victims, particularly the bankers, are not willing to expose them for fear of bad publicity.

We are proud to invite Mr. T. O. Lee of Toronto to share with bankers in Malaysia his personal experience and effective means to detect fraudulent documents, demonstrated by recent L/C frauds cases from Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia and USA. According to Mr. Lee, fraudsters always leave some footprints in the documents. The name of the game is whether bankers can identify those footprints before they pay out their money. Mr. Lee has close working relationship with ICC Commercial Crime Bureau in Hong Kong and Toronto. Trainers from banks should not miss this golden opportunity to acquire Mr. Lee’s unique fraud detection techniques which they cannot obtain from other sources. Highlights of some fraud cases can be seen from his web site http://www.tolee.com.
