SubscribeSimple techniques skillfully applied can be used to change data on documents.
Paper documents with valuable data recorded on them are often the targets of criminals looking to:
- Increase the value of documents to their benefit (cheques, bonds, vouchers etc)
- Change the recipient name(cheques, bonds, vouchers etc)
- Change identity (university certificates, birth certificates, licences, permits etc)
- Changing other significant data such as qualifications (university certificates, licences etc)
In most cases these illegal changes go undetected until a more significant crime is discovered. Often significant financial losses occur and allow support of more serious crime such as illegal immigration and terrorism.
Security Foiling Limited’s Datafoil technology is applied over the data in the form of a transparent lamination. The data can still be read through the film. Customer specific embossing patterns are combined with the lamination film to provide a very thin film of protection that is embedded into the surface of the document.
Datafoil is an effective visual deterrent – criminals will generally look for documents that can be quickly and effectively attacked – Datafoil is another barrier for them to deal with and increases their risk of being detected.
Document Alteration
Although attempted document alteration cannot be totally prevented, Datafoil makes it obvious that an attempt to change the data has been made. Any Datafoil area that has been tampered with can be immediately rejected and investigated thwarting the attempt of fraud.
Datafoil is presently used on a variety of documents such as Cheques, Bank drafts, Visas, Tax valuation documents, University certificates, permits, licences etc.
