Understandably, security managers try to deliver the best possible security at the most cost-effective rates. Great care is always needed, especially when specifying requirements for technology and CCTV systems in particular. info4security, a security publication, reports an elaborate scam whereby companies are being seduced into paying up front for systems which then are not delivered.

Protect your identity and don’t pay up front for equipment without conducting due diligence on the supplier!
