#FreightFraud #Logistics #FreightForwarding Freight fraud is getting more sophisticated, more costly and more targeted. And most forwarders are not talking about it. Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss North America, is. In this clip from the Freight Buyers Club, Mark reveals how double-brokering scams cost GW $600,000 in a single year, how the fraud starts small with legitimate-looking loads and builds trust before striking, and why even the best vetting technology is not enough when criminals are changing their methods every week. He explains how fraudsters build credibility over multiple legitimate shipments before executing a large-scale sting, how they clone real company identities down to executive names and email addresses, and why the sales culture inside freight forwarding businesses makes them particularly vulnerable. This is an important conversation for anyone working in freight forwarding, brokerage or trucking. GW is not the only victim. They are just one of the few prepared to talk openly about it.
