4. → As discussed at top finance conferences like the Money 2.0
Conference, skimming spam can be defined in the following ways:
● Your company risks being the target of skimming and lapping schemes if it
takes cash payments.
● Skimming happens when an employee accepts cash payment from a client
and takes the money without having it recorded in the books.
● Skimming may appear to be consumer theft or an inventory error until a
fraudster gains confidence and starts pocketing more money.
6. Global finance events such as the Money 2.0 Conference talk about how
skimming spam can take even more dreadful forms, leading to employee theft.

7. ● In a more complex instance of skimming, the employee tries to hide the theft
by either erasing the paid invoice or fabricating a credit note, also known as
a wrong debt entry, and adding it to the customer's account balance to
prevent the account from being marked as past due.
● In contrast to skimming, lapsing involves the employee recording a cash
payment but taking the money for personal use rather than properly
depositing it.
● Afterward, the employee covers up the spam by charging the customer's
account for the subsequent payment.
● When spam is initially undetected, it is simple for the perpetrator to gain
confidence and broaden the plan.
9. ● Get rid of the cash entering your office.
● If you must accept cash, employ a lockbox service to do so securely, and
require daily bank deposits because those will reveal any inconsistencies.
● It's best to keep collecting cash and posting to accounts apart from issuing
receipts and making deposits.
● Cash receipts and posting to accounts receivable ought to be handled
separately.
10. ● To ensure that one person is always in charge of collecting money, cross-train
your staff and give tasks on a rotating basis.
● Make memorized reports of credit memos and other information if you don't
outsource or don't have the workforce to get separation of roles.
● Or, you can always consider registering for any upcoming finance conferences to
gain valuable insights on the matter, including finding a way out of the spam.
