Cybercriminalité : une fausse offre de partenariat piège un équipementier au nom de la FIF
A case worthy of a crime film is shaking the world of Ivorian football. The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has been the victim of a well-orchestrated digital scam.
Individuals impersonated the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) to defraud a foreign company. Their target: DTT LTD, a company specializing in sporting goods. The fraudsters posed online as Federation officials, offering a four-year partnership with the promise of significant brand visibility in Ivory Coast.
Intrigued by this attractive offer, the company believed it was an official agreement. It then shipped several batches of sports equipment.
But the trap didn't last long. Upon discovering that no partnership existed, DTT LTD immediately alerted the FIF. The case was handed over to the Platform for Combating Cybercrime (PLCC), attached to the ANSSI.
Investigators quickly traced the scam. KJP was identified as the main perpetrator. When arrested, he confessed.
The suspect will now have to answer for his actions in court. He is being prosecuted for fraudulent use of a legal entity's identity, forgery and use of forged documents, as well as for fraud committed via an information system. These offenses are defined and punishable under the law of June 19, 2013, on combating cybercrime.
