In this special “Fraud Friday” edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris dives deep into the dark side of the supply chain. With losses mounting and theft schemes becoming more sophisticated, we’re joined by a triple threat of experts to break down exactly how these crimes happen and what you can do to stop them.
The “Fraud Girl” Perspective: Danielle Spinelli (Director of Partnerships at Genlogs and Host of Tell Me Everything) joins the show to discuss her recent ride-along with the California Highway Patrol’s cargo theft task force. She reveals the shocking scale of rail line theft in the desert and explains how “strategic theft” has evolved since 2020.
The Amazon Schemes: We break down two massive fraud cases involving Amazon, including a $10 million fake vendor invoice scheme and a $3.5 million “ghost trailer” scam where 23 fake trucking companies billed for movements that never happened.
Next-Gen Defense: Noi Mahoney and Phillip Brink from FreightWaves join to discuss the latest in “ambient IoT” sensor tech that can detect theft and tampering in real-time.
