🚨 BREAKING: THE $1 MILLION HEIST THAT PROVES WHY SECURITY MATTERS
Double brokers just stole Guy Fieri's tequila. Is YOUR freight next?
ATTENTION ALL SHIPPERS!
Here’s the TERRIFYING truth — as revealed by CBS News — the thieves didn’t wear masks, didn’t cut locks, and didn’t hijack trucks at gunpoint.
They did it with a LAPTOP and FAKE logistics profiles.
How the Heist Went Down: The Double-Broker Nightmare
THE SETUP: Santo Tequila hired a logistics company. That company hired another company. That company turned out to be CRIMINALS with fake profiles who "double-brokered" the load to unsuspecting drivers.
THE EXECUTION:
Fake trucking company created online
Legitimate drivers hired through fraud
GPS signals SPOOFED to show trucks heading to Pennsylvania
Freight redirected to Los Angeles criminal warehouse
$1 MILLION in tequila VANISHED
THE DEVASTATION: Layoffs. Empty shelves. Customer trust shattered.
THE WARNING: "If it can happen to us, it can happen to ANYONE." — Guy Fieri
