CORE INTELLIGENCE MODULE // 06
Detect synthetic companies, hijacked director filings, and invoice diversion scams.
Commercial fraudsters increasingly weaponize aged shelf companies, hijacked corporate filings, and synthetic business identities to execute massive invoice diversion and procurement fraud. Diliguard correlates live company registers, domain telemetry, and banking routing signals to expose fraudulent entities before contracts execute or wires settle.
The sophisticated corporate deception that bypasses basic credit checks
Traditional fraud tools focus exclusively on consumer credit cards and personal identities. When bad actors acquire a dormant 10-year-old corporation, appoint fake nominee directors, and issue altered supplier invoices with modified wire instructions, credit rating agencies see an established business with a perfect score.
By the time the buyer discovers the fraud after wiring six-figure settlement funds, the entity is dissolved, the wire has cleared into an offshore account, and the business absorbs an unrecoverable capital loss.
The Diliguard Standard
Four Pillars of Corporate Deception & Fraud Interception
1. Synthetic Corporate Identity Detection
Identifies artificial business entities constructed from stolen registration numbers, virtual office clusters, and fake nominee directors.
- Verify corporate active standing via Corporate KYB Checks.
- Detect mass director filings across unrelated shell entities.
- Flag virtual address clusters associated with prior corporate collapses.
2. Invoice & Wire Diversion Interception
Cross-references vendor bank accounts, corporate trading names, and payout velocity to prevent business email compromise (BEC) wire redirection.
- Score payment changes using Transaction Risk Scoring.
- Verify alignment between corporate registration and bank account name.
- Flag sudden modifications to established supplier wire routing.
3. Officer & Proxy Background Analysis
Exposes nominee directors, disqualified officers, and serial phoenix operators who systematically collapse debt-laden companies.
- Trace corporate directorship histories with Executive Person Trace.
- Uncover undisclosed bankruptcy orders and director bans.
- Screen bad actors across AML & PEP Screening.
4. Digital Infrastructure & Proxy Telemetry
Examines vendor email domains, website age, and digital network signatures to expose newly created fraudulent supplier fronts.
- Analyze domain age and hosting infrastructure with IP & Network Intelligence.
- Detect anonymous VPN connections used during commercial onboarding.
- Generate tamper-evident fraud interception evidence dossiers.

The $2.1M Intercepted Commercial Invoice Diversion Attack
A multinational construction firm received an urgent email notification regarding an updated bank account for a primary steel supplier. The invoice appeared authentic and carried a legitimate corporate registration number. Diliguard flagged that the registered business had quietly changed directors 7 days prior and the new bank account belonged to an unrelated shell company.
Accounts payable triggers Diliguard fraud scoring on modified supplier bank details.
Engine discovers sudden filing change: legitimate directors replaced by proxy.
System identifies discrepancy between supplier corporate name and wire recipient entity.
Wire payment halted immediately, preventing an unrecoverable $2.1M capital loss.
