Every company registered at companies house in the UK is now facing a new threat to their business in the form of ’Company Hi-Jacking’. This is when a company’s identity is stolen by fraudsters. These criminals simply submit a forged form to Companies House, changing a company’s registered address to a new location. Using the selected company’s name and the new address, they are then able to carry out fraudulent activities, obtaining credit to purchase goods and services.
