Criminals can seek to commit corporate identity fraud in a variety of different ways, including by fraudulently changing a company's registered details at Companies House. Companies House has a 3 point plan to help companies protect against corporate identity fraud and safeguard the personal information of their directors. This involves filing information online (WebFiling), signing up to submitting all papers online (PROOF), and subscribing to an alert system that notifies companies when changes to their details are made (Monitor). More information about these services and combating corporate identity fraud can be found at www.companieshouse.gov.uk. Further information for businesses about avoiding scams, including identity theft, can be found at www.businesslink.gov.uk under the "IT and e-commerce" section.
