‘When the manufacturers, re-sellers and distributors of the ID card industry came up with a prevention measure - known as the Genesius warning - which appeared on their websites - the companies found a dramatic reduction in spurious calls, emails and orders", says Michael Fitzgibbon, chairman of the RSMG. He added, ‘We are urging our members and the rest of the industry to adopt a similar statement and add it to their websites'.
After a recent increase potentially fraudulent orders being made with specialist rubber stamp suppliers and general stationers, the following statement is being recommended to be added to companies websites:
'This company (name) supports Project Genesius - the Metropolitan Police's initiative to prevent the manufacture of false identity documents. Our products will only be supplied to bone fide customers and information may be shared with Law Enforcement'
Working together with law enforcement means there is better chance of beating the bad guys.
