An example of corporate fraud

Sir Philip Green fell victim to corporate id fraud when his property company 'Green' was successfully impersonated by criminals. The perpetrators used fraudulently obtained documents to pass themselves off as the real company and ordered and received substantial quantities of goods on credit before their scheme was eventually uncovered. According to the Metropolitan Police the average fraud in this area is worth two million pounds.
