Regular Overdrive readers may well recall the case of William Hickey of Maryland in 2019. Hickey was convicted of operating as a U.S. runner for a mostly overseas ring of identity thieves targeting brokers and carriers in a double-brokering scam that’s sucked hundreds of thousands in freight payments out of trucking.
In this video, U.S. postal inspector Steve Cohen of the federal U.S. Postal Inspection Service, among the oldest of federal law enforcement agencies, offers clarity on how the scheme operates, and just what brokers and carriers can do to stop it. As he well knows, Hickey’s capture and conviction was just a blip on a continuum of ID theft crime. The scheme still operates as thieves adapt, and some watchers estimate much more increased activity.
