Inside The Secretive World Of Counterfeit Printer Ink,
And The Raids Used To Fight Back
Deep in the bowels of companies like Hewlett-Packard, an elite squad composed
largely of former law enforcement personnel is currently hard at work planning a
series of covert raids around the world.
Their target: Counterfeit printer ink and toner cartridges. According to the
Imaging Supplies Coalition, the annual market for counterfeit printer cartridges
adds up to roughly $3.5 billion in market value. To combat this issue,
manufacturers and other interested parties extensively with law enforcement
around the world to track and raid these printer pirates.
To
learn more about the world of counterfeit printer supplies, Forbes
spoke with
Andy Binder, HP's Vice President & General Manager of Office Supplies and
Solutions, about how his company is fighting back.
Let's talk raids for a second. Talk to me about how you guys work with law
enforcement, how raids are carried out?
BINDER: This is a very interesting and cool part of the business. We have
a bunch of regional investigators who oversee investigation work all over the
world. These people most often have former law enforcement backgrounds, and so
they are used to being very conscious of this type of behavior and they go out
and they follow up on leads. They establish a communication link with local law
enforcement. Essentially, what they do is build the case. They do evidence, they
do surveillance, and then bring it to the local office and law enforcement to
take action.
HP often does this on behalf of other manufacturers as well, because some of the
counterfeits are not just counterfeiting HP, but they're making them of many
other brands' products as well.
So we work with the local officials and bring the case to them and they go
through the appropriate approval processes and then take action.
Sometimes it's in marketplaces, as in physical stores, where they'll go in and
raid the stores and confiscate all the product as well as arrest the individual
there. In other cases, we find manufacturing facilities where they're
able to take over the entire manufacturing facility and capture the components
as well as the finished goods they have there.
So in 2018, we had over 500 raids, confiscating over eight million units of
counterfeit products and components. So it's a very significant process
that we have in place with lots of raids in order to keep on top of this and
really create a clean marketplace for our consumers.

Hawaii: Retailers push against bill allowing gift card cash redemption
House Bill 314, which sits on the Governor's desk waiting to be signed into
law, is worrying local retailers. It states that for any gift certificate or
gift card with a remaining balance less than $5, the retailer is required to
redeem the remaining value for cash. Tina Yamaki, president of Retail Merchants
of Hawaii, said that this bill could potentially hit small retailers in Hawaii.
Customers and criminals abusing the the gift card cash redemption privilege is
the biggest issue Yamaki sees Hawaii retailers facing if the bill is signed into
law. According to Retail Merchants of Hawaii's Retail Security Committee, there
have been cases of criminals using gift cards as currency by stealing an item,
returning it as a "gift" they received without a receipt and receiving the full
purchase price back.

Wine Biz Bilked Investors Through 'Shark Tank' Glass Scheme
A wine dealer pled guilty in a Long Island federal court on Monday to wire fraud
charges after prosecutors accused him of swindling investors out of over
$500,000 with promises to invest in innovations like those featured on the TV
show “Shark Tank.”
Long Island alcohol vendor Joseph Falcone, 59, allegedly took in $527,064 of
investors’ money intended to fund innovative products, such as a single serving
of wine in a sealed glass that was featured on ABC's “Shark Tank,” but instead
used the money to buy a house in Florida and make other investments.
In 2014 and 2015, Falcone allegedly defrauded investors through his
wine and liquor distribution business, 3G’S VINO LLC, based in
Farmingdale and Bethpage, New York, according to prosecutors.

U.S. Customs & Border Protection says photos of travelers taken in data breach
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Monday that photos of
travelers had been compromised as part of a “malicious cyberattack,” raising
concerns over how federal officials’ expanding surveillance efforts could
imperil Americans’ privacy.
Customs officials said in a statement Monday that the images, which included
photos of people’s faces and license plates, had been compromised as part of an
attack on an unnamed federal subcontractor.
Fewer than 100,000 people were impacted, said CBP, citing “initial
reports.” The photographs were taken of people in vehicles entering and exiting
the U.S. over a month and a half through a single land border entry port, which
CBP did not name.

Huawei Represents Massive Supply Chain Risk: Report
The Chinese technology
giant's enormous product and service footprint gives it access to more data than
almost any other single organization.
A
new report from threat intelligence firm Recorded Future portrays Chinese
technology giant Huawei as presenting a substantially bigger threat to US
interests and organizations than currently perceived.
According to the firm, Huawei's enormous range of technologies and products and
its global customer base has put the company in a position to access an
unprecedented amount of information on organizations, governments, and people
worldwide. Huawei's obligations to the Chinese government under various national
security and related statutes puts that data at risk of interception and
compromise, Recorded Future said.

Department of Justice Reminds the Public to be Aware of Fraud When Disaster
Strikes and Report it to the National Center for Disaster Fraud
As
the 2019 hurricane season begins, the Department of Justice reminds the public
to be on the lookout for fraud against natural disaster victims, and report it
to the National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF). The Atlantic Hurricane Season
opened June 1 and runs through November 30.
The Department of Justice established the NCDF in the wake of Hurricane Katrina,
when billions of dollars in federal disaster relief poured into the Gulf Coast
region, which opened opportunities for criminals to exploit people during
vulnerable times.

Sears Owes $20M For Hurricane-Damaged Store, Mall Says
The management of a Puerto Rican shopping mall has told a New York bankruptcy
court that Sears broke its lease when it failed to rebuild a store damaged by
Hurricane Maria and owes it $20.8 million in damages. Santa Rosa Mall LLC
alleged in a complaint filed Friday that Sears Holding Co.'s lease required it
to repair the hurricane damage and that any insurance payout be earmarked for
that purpose, but that Sears instead abandoned the store and passed the
insurance proceeds on with other assets in Sear's bankruptcy sale.

Thousands of Jobs Eliminated as Nestle, Kellogg’s & Others Dump Their
Direct-Store-Delivery Routes
Nestlé U.S. announced last month that it was ending its DSD (direct store
delivery) program for brands including DiGiorno and Skinny Cow in a
supply model that seems to be about to disappear outside of bread, soda and beer.
Nestlé will
instead ship goods to retailer distribution centers for them to move to
individual stores - meaning lots of drivers, merchandisers and other staff will
no longer be needed. Some 4,000 jobs will be lost as the operation covers 230
facilities, 1,400 trucks and 2,000 different delivery routes. In 2017, Kellogg
announced plans to eliminate 1,200 distribution jobs as it exited direct store
delivery for similar reasons.

'LP Meet IT' Column -
Created by Vector Security Networks
May 11, 2015 - 4 Years Ago -
The Convergence Went Public
The first column and EVP of Vector Security
Mike Grady's
vision of the
evolution of retail and Loss Prevention
Welcome to the Real World Smart Store
Today's retailers focused on bringing their loss prevention and IT teams
together - those teams building the real world smart store - is not a myth.
It isn't something predicted to happen far into the future. It's happening
right here, right now - in the real world. And it's being driven by
consumers looking for a consistent online and in-store experience - a true
omnichannel experience.
Retailers are increasingly delivering this in-demand omnichannel shopping model,
combining the convenience of online shopping with the tactile experience of
brick and mortar shopping. From the moment shoppers walk into a store, they may
be met with touchscreen mirrors that allow them to view merchandise, check
what's in stock, and send items directly to their dressing room. This shift in
consumer behavior requires retailers to think differently and
demands that roles like loss prevention adjust to these
changing times. In fact, it is imperative for LP professionals to
understand the real world smart store and know how their expertise not only
protects merchandise, but also helps improve the customer experience.
d-ddaily.com
Editor's Note: This column is a direct result of Mike Grady, Art
Miller - vice president of Marketing at Vector Security, and the whole
leadership team at Vector. They had the foresight to develop a vehicle focused
on the evolution of retail and the Loss Prevention industry. By bridging the gap
between IT Security and Loss Prevention and helping to educate, build and
facilitate the convergence of where we are today.

How social media has become a breeding ground for
counterfeit sales
The amount of total counterfeiting globally has breached the trillion dollar
mark (2017, $1.2 trillion) and is expected to reach $1.82 trillion by 2020. The
2018
Global Brand Counterfeiting Report estimates that the losses suffered due to
online counterfeiting globally has amounted to $323 billion in the year 2017,
roughly 10% of which came from counterfeiting high-end luxury goods.
From a social media perspective, one of the biggest culprits in this regard has
been Instagram.
According to research by Ghost Data, the number of counterfeit accounts active
on the platform has risen by 171% in the past three years. In 2016, counterfeit
accounts published 14.5 million posts. In 2019, they published more than 64
million posts - a growth of more than 341%.
“Of course, blaming Instagram for the world’s counterfeiting woes seems like an
easy way out. Instead, people, organisations, and authorities must examine how
the state of social media today is creating an enabling environment for this
illicit trade to grow with fake accounts being opened quicker than they are
closed by companies,” says Paul Ramara, a partner at Spoor & Fisher.
In many respects, social media has taken a real world problem and turned it into
a digital business that makes finding offenders a time-consuming and costly
exercise.

How Stanley Black & Decker generated ecommerce

Stanley Black &
Decker Inc., a toolmaker in business for more than 176 years, topped $1

New York: Third Person Cops To $6.5M Navy Exchange Bribery Scheme
A 45-year-old New York man is the latest to plead guilty to conspiracy charges
for his part in a scheme in which prosecutors claim a Navy employee was
bribed to purchase nearly $6.5 million in liquor through a Navy Exchange for
later resale, skirting taxes and restrictions in the process.
Fragoso, who isn't officially connected to the Navy, admitted to paying a
Mitchel Field Navy Exchange supervisor $95,000 in bribes over a year, the
DOJ said. In exchange, the supervisor helped him to purchase $1.3 million worth
of the liquor at significant discounts, according to the statement. Fragoso, of
Freeport, is the third person to plead guilty to the bribery scheme this year,
according to court filings.

arrest reports.
David Staring, 56, Warren Staring, 29, and Debra Witherspoon, 61, were all
arrested Friday and charged with multiple counts of grand theft, dealing in

from the pawned tools on drugs and living expenses. Investigators did not
release the exact amount stolen but said it was in the many thousands of
dollars.

Houston, TX: Gang of 7 break into gun shop, lead police on chase;
4 in custody, 3 remain on the loose
Four people are in custody and three others are on the run after a
burglary-turned-chase across north Houston. According to authorities, the
burglars broke into a gun store. The store owner told police he lives near the
store and heard the alarm go off so he went to see what was going on. When he
arrived, he found several burglars in the store, so he confronted them and even
held a couple of them at gunpoint. When they arrived, five of the burglars fled
on foot and two others took off in a truck. Two of the five who fled on foot
were caught, police said. One of them was bitten by a K-9 officer and was taken
to a hospital to be treated. The two who drove off led police on a chase from
the store in northwest Houston across north Houston, until finally coming to a
stop. Authorities are still looking for the three other burglars who fled on
foot.

A lot of articles talk about "How to impress your boss" and give you tips on how
to accomplish this. But at the end of the day, it's all about supporting them,
helping them reach their objectives, and not trying to merely impress them.
Impressing a person is great, but usually short lived. Supporting and helping
them reach their goals requires a long-term effort that, at times can truly test
your resolve and stamina.
The thought has always been that if your boss gets promoted, then you might as
well -- as long as you are the one helping them get ahead.
Just a Thought, Gus
