Description
Fraudsters posing as legitimate carriers: what to do when clients are facing a “phantom carrier” situation and are unable to trace the location of the goods. In such cases, timing is crucial to protect the client’s interests, and counsel must act promptly. Lawyers with any legal background will leave this session with practical insights. This session will also address the broader role of digital identity, platform risk and online verification in the digital economy. It will explore how reliance on digital credentials, online profiles and platform-based trust mechanisms may create opportunities for fraud, and how lawyers can assess risk, evidence, responsibility and liability when digital identity is misused.
