Delivery Fraud

Part of South Africa’s petroleum-industry integrity and responsible-reporting platform.

Report suspected delivery fraud involving petroleum products in South Africa.

What delivery fraud can include

Concerns may involve short deliveries, false delivery notes, product substitution, unexplained quantity discrepancies, manipulated proof of delivery, unauthorised offloading or deliberate differences between what was ordered, loaded and received.

Information that can help assessment

  • Supplier, customer and delivery location.
  • Date, time, product and ordered quantity.
  • Tanker and trailer registration numbers.
  • Delivery note, invoice, meter ticket or weighbridge information.
  • Opening and closing stock or tank readings where lawfully recorded.
  • Photographs, CCTV or tracking records lawfully available.

Reconcile before concluding

Operational variances can occur for legitimate reasons. Record the discrepancy and supporting records rather than assuming fraud from a single difference.
