ScamShield AI for Import & Export

Catch overseas supplier impersonation, forged trade documents and payment-diversion before you send an international payment. A verdict in under 3 seconds.

An email arrives from your overseas supplier. The wording is familiar, the reference numbers look right, and it says the company has changed banks, so please remit this shipment to the new account. The goods are already booked. The money leaves. It never reaches the supplier. Cross-border trade fraud works because a single forged email, sent from a lookalike domain, can redirect a large international payment before anyone thinks to pick up the phone.

ScamShield AI checks the things a busy trade desk cannot verify at a glance. It scans incoming trade emails for spoofed domains, lookalike senders and changed remittance instructions, and lets you check suspicious documents and messages before you pay.

How ScamShield AI helps

Overseas supplier & buyer impersonation

Fraudsters register a domain that looks almost identical to your real supplier or buyer, then step into an existing order. ScamShield AI flags lookalike senders, spoofed domains and display-name tricks that a quick read would miss.

Forged shipping & customs documents

Altered bills of lading, fake customs paperwork and doctored letterheads are used to unlock goods or advance payments. Upload the document and the engine reads the text and checks it against known cross-border fraud patterns.

Invoice & payment diversion (BEC)

A forged proforma or commercial invoice that quietly swaps the beneficiary account is the classic business-email-compromise trap. ScamShield AI catches mismatched bank details, altered amounts and urgent-payment pressure.

Remittance-detail change checks

Any email that changes the account, IFSC, SWIFT or beneficiary right before a wire is the single most dangerous signal in trade. Paste it in and get a clear verdict before your accounts team remits.

Import & export fraud FAQs

What trade-fraud types does it catch?

It is built for the frauds that hit importers and exporters: overseas supplier and buyer impersonation, spoofed domains and lookalike sender addresses, forged shipping and customs documents, fake proforma and commercial invoices, and payment-diversion where a forged email changes the beneficiary bank or remittance details before an international payment. It scans the incoming trade email and returns a risk score with plain-English reasons in under 3 seconds.

Can it check forged invoices and shipping documents?

Yes. Paste the suspicious message or upload the document into the Universal Scanner and ScamShield AI reads the text, checks the sender and the wording against known India and cross-border fraud patterns, and flags mismatched bank details, altered amounts and lookalike letterheads before you act on it.

Does it catch cross-border payment-diversion (BEC)?

Yes. Payment-diversion, also called business-email-compromise, is a core case. When an email from a supplier or buyer suddenly changes the remittance instructions, comes from a lookalike of the real domain, and pressures an urgent wire transfer, ScamShield AI flags it as high risk and tells your team to verify the bank details through a known channel before remitting.
