IT'S MORE THAN A SOUND BITE
For many people, frauds such as bid-rigging exist as a sound bite on the evening news, or at best, a brief conversation amongst friends and co-workers acknowledging its existence and the shame of it all, but most will take no action in response. The reality is that Bid-rigging, like all forms of corruption are more akin to a vampire bite sucking the life’s blood from a society, killing some and far too often, converting others to its life draining cause. Like the cowards that they are, those who engage in Bid-rigging schemes operate in the dark and are no respecter of men. These soulless schemers prey upon the young and the old, the rich and the poor. Race, culture, and ethnicity hold no barrier against this fraud. Bid-rigging and its deceitful siblings and dishonest offspring, hold a universal passport into our lives, communities and culture. It has successfully slipped into all governments and societies. It is time for a clear and unmistakable change. Let G-Square arm your organization with the tools to win this fight and bring corruption to its Knees!

BID RIGGING BASICSThere are generally two sources from which bid rigging schemes come to life.
In one instances an employee assists a vendor or bidders in fraudulently winning contracts through the competitive bidding process. In the other source, bidders agree among themselves to control competition and give the impression that competition is taking place. |

If the “whys” do not make sense, this tells you that there are more rocks to overturn. |
