CTS Courier has alerted customers to a growing fraud scheme involving fake receipts used to steal from unsuspecting clients. According to the company, two suspects linked to more than 40 cases have been apprehended, and the matter is currently in court at Area 23 Police Station Lilongwe.
The scam reportedly works as follows: fraudsters pose as online sellers, issue counterfeit CTS Courier receipts to buyers, and claim parcels have been sent. When customers attempt to collect their items, they are declared missing, forcing the company to issue refunds. CTS Courier says this practice has cost both money and its reputation.
In addition, some fraudsters have been caught posing as customers at branch offices, pretending to send parcels but intending to steal from the company and its clients. One individual apprehended confirmed that multiple people are involved in the scheme.
CTS Courier credits its new security systems and cooperation with police for uncovering the operation. Authorities are investigating all suspected cases of fraud and theft, including potential internal involvement.
The company has warned that anyone involved in the syndicate will face legal action and urged customers to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity.
CTS Courier management expressed gratitude to customers for their support and encouraged them to help protect parcels and maintain the integrity of their service
