    Suggestion: Switch all internal communication to a more secure system like Slack, instead of email.
  • All payments should be through atleast two people before it’s release so it’s checked and double checked
  • @myexoticfruit
    Sorry to hear about the 20k loss Daniel.
    Ps: We work with many St Lucian fruits, let us know if you and your Mum want a box sent out. A little box of joy from back home to lift your spirits after this loss! ☀️🥭
  • You need to hire a security team to investigate where the e-mail came from and where the funds went. I'm in the industry and can tell you there's a high chance (bigger than 50%) that they will be able to trace this if worked on with Police. Do it and get your money back otherwise they'll try again. It won't cost you alot.

    It might be best if you put your guys on a Phishing awareness course, and build safeguards in your policies and procedures...
  • @PaddyGun
    this man is an inspiration, dosent pretend problems don't exist, while still frustrated he takes a step back and accepts that the problem is out of his hands and doesn't let it hinder his progress and ambition.
  • @rudeboystu69
    In addition to all the other excellent suggestions regarding how to avoid scammers, how about something simple like a word of the week? You decide on Monday morning what that week's word will be (eg. giraffe) and that word is communicated to all necessary staff, then they can challenge any "internal" communications by asking for the word. Sort of a riff on the old sentry challenge in the army.

    You need to set-up a secondary authorising process/sign off limits. So, your finance officer can authorise up to a certain limit and after it will need you/Terry for final approval. This works well in the public sector to prevent similar type of issues. Hope you can track it down 🤞
  • @towelie
    Losing 20 Bags!! I feel for you man , f**k those scammers!
  • For that amount of money that staffer should have checked with you when that payment was flagged by a outside party
  • @harrysmith846
    I feel Daniel deserves everything he has worked hard for, he’s a very cool act.🎉
  • DMARC Daniel! Your email domain hasn’t got DMARC email spoofing protection enabled. It’s a free, easy, industry standard, and will go a long way in protecting against spoofing.
  • I have a plant hire business in Lincolnshire and I had a digger and a dumper stolen on March the 1st I wasn’t insured so I also lost £20k recently, it sent me into a depression I am only just coming out of I feel your pain
  • Now with the addition of the new plant hire venture to the company make sure the machines are trackable and record any damage when returning from hire - a digital paper trail when you bill the customer
  • Losing 20k,
    I've watched every single episode and seen how hard you work.
    Something needs to be done about these scammers, they are scum of the earth stealing peoples hard earned money.
    I feel gutted for you.
  • @andybigfeet
    You're an absolute inspiration to us all mate, your videos and work drives me to work harder on my own business too!
    You've got this!
  • @michaelf4251
    You can flag all external emails which should help to prevent such situations
  • You need to make sure ,it's you or Terry that authorise payments so it doesn't happen again
