Fighting Back Against Fraud

Posted on January 21, 2012 by CFB Supplies

The Financial Times estimated that economic crime cost businesses in the UK over 38 billion pounds in one year alone (2010). Fraudsters are criminal opportunists, given that corporate fraud is low down on the police agenda in comparison to other high profile crimes. With convictions for fraud being highly difficult and complex to prove, fraudsters believe that they won’t be caught, so it’s a very attractive and lucrative venture for them.

Companies House have a disclaimer on their website stating that documents submitted to the Registry are accepted in good faith, and by no means verified or validated in any way. This paves the way for filing false documents, balance sheets, director appointments and fictitious registered office addresses to Companies House in order to produce good credit ratings with reputable agencies.

10 ways to build protection for yourself against fraud.

  • Always shred confidential data – utility bills, credit card statements, bank statements, client and supplier details.
  • Obtain reliable credit reports – use a reputable company that analyses and scans their databases for unusual activity patterns.
  • Fully process account applications.
  • Credit applications checked for quality and completeness.
  • Confirm trading and registered office addresses.
  • Be cautious about mobile phone numbers and non-business e-mail addresses.
  • Establish the true identity of your customer, search to see if they have a website.
  • Obtain or ask for official purchase order documents.
  • Request an original utility bill to confirm delivery address.
  • Call the HMRC office to check validity of VAT numbers.

Also, be aware of :

  • Has the delivery address suddenly changed.
  • A sudden, last minute call to collect goods instead of them being delivered.
  • Does the delivery address match that on the credit report.
  • Is it a fixed-line telephone number or a non-geographic one 0800.
  • Orders suddenly placed late in the afternoon on the last day of the month.
  • Unusually large orders placed at the beginning of the month.
  • Receiving a high value first order to be paid by credit card.Fraud is here to stay, so be vigilant, and introduce proper controls to save yourself from becoming a victim of the unscrupulous fraudster.

HP LaserJet 200 M275 with 3D scanning facility.

Posted on January 20, 2012 by CFB Supplies

This innovative HP LaserJet comes with a built in camera on an extending arm to take multiple all round picture shots. This camera creates a 3D image that can be printed or e-mailed immediately. Using a high quality optical lens and high-resolution sensor to capture an image of documents up to 216 x 297mm, A4 (8.5 x 11 in letter) or any small object.

Six images are taken per scan, 3 with flashes from different angles and 3 in ambient light conditions with differing exposure levels, virtually resulting in glare free and shadow free images. These individual shots are then combined into one image of outstanding quality.

As a result of TopShot scanning, the images are similar to or better than those taken by a hand held digital camera and have a better depth of focus than those images produced on a flatbed scanner.

Ideal for overlaying images in graphical designs for insertion into brochures and flyers, or even scanning for blog posts, websites and auction sites. It also allows scanning of images direct to web applications without a PC.

A Basic Guide To Paper Envelopes

Posted on October 20, 2011 by CFB Supplies

There are many different types of envelopes available and this can make choosing the best ones suited to you a difficult task. Most people have more important things to do than to study the whole range of paper envelopes available on the office supplies market in order to choose the right ones, so we have created a quick simply guide covering the main factors in an effort to make choosing the correct envelopes quick and easy.

Sizes

Envelopes are available in a range of different sizes. The most popular choices are C4, C5, C6 and DL. The illustration to the right displays the size of each in proportion to an A4 sheet of paper.

C4 Envelopes (324x229mm) – Hold an A4 sheet unfolded
C5 Envelopes (229x162mm) – Hold an A4 sheet folded once or an A5 sheet unfolded.
C6 Envelopes (114x162mm) – Hold an A4 sheet folded twice or an A5 sheet folded once.
DL Envelopes (110x220mm) – Hold an A4 sheet folded twice or an A5 sheet folded once.

Paper Quality

Choosing the right quality envelopes that offer the very best in paper quality and finish, and will help your business deliver that right impression.

Professional range – These are high quality envelopes that offer the very best in paper quality and finish, and will help your business deliver the very best impression.

Environmental range – For the more environmentally conscious, these products have environmental accreditation.

General Office range – A more basic offering in terms of quality of paper, but still good value for money.

Envelope Colour

A simple choice or either white or manila. Neither colour has any particular advantage over the other, it’s simply down to personnel preference.

Window & Non-window Envelopes

Pretty self explanatory, window envelopes have a clear see through area to allow the address to be visible if it is printed on the document enclosed. Although a little bit more expensive than non-window envelopes, window envelopes do save time and possibly money compared to using addressing labels.

Pricing In Proportion

Pricing in proportion is Royal mail’s postage structure for the UK market. The criteria for pricing rather than weight is a combination of size and weight and volume. There are three categories of mail:

royal mail sizesA. Letter – Max weight 100g

B. Large Letter – Max Weight 750g

C. Packet – Max Weight N/A

Envelope Seal

There three main types of envelope seal:

1. Gummed – Moisten adhesive flap and press to seal.

2. Self Seal – simply fold flap again back of the envelope and press to seal.

3. Peel & Seal – Peel back strip to reveal adhesive and press against back of the envelope to seal.
