8. Fraud Trends 2008 • Record high, volatile PPG makes fleet card programs a target of both criminal enterprises and opportunists alike • Fleet drivers, who may be struggling to personally absorb high PPG, more likely to misuse or abuse card privileges • Average vehicle owner more likely to accept a “deal” from someone selling gas at a discounted rate • Fuel-related thefts and fraud receiving national attention • Application fraud on the rise – higher commercial credit lines (versus consumer) more lucrative and appealing to perpetrators. • Websites providing instruction on how to perpetrate commercial loan fraud • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gyaac2-1s4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8m-cjllYcEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sMxKWnmVv4 © 2008 Wright Express.

9. Fraud Trends 2008 Cont’d. • Increasingly, retail fueling locations carry items such as electronics and department store gift cards, cell phones, etc. which are attractive to fraudsters • More opportunity to turn fuel card into cash • Opportunists are striking harder than ever, e.g. collusion and merchant abuse © 2008 Wright Express.

All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and confidential.

11. Prevention Techniques • One critical key to preventing misuse is establishing top-down accountability. • Make sure those responsible for administration are ordering and maintaining an inventory of cards accurately by performing periodic audits • Each driver should be assigned a unique Driver Identification Number (DIN) that is to be kept strictly confidential • Avoid the use of a “spare” or generically assigned DIN to remove the cover of anonymity © 2008 Wright Express. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and confidential.

12. Prevention Techniques Cont’d. • Establishing DINs • Assign one DIN per driver • Assign random DINs as opposed to social security numbers or employee numbers • Assign six-digit DINs as opposed to four-digit DINs • Avoid easily guessed DINs, such as “1111” or “1234” © 2008 Wright Express. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and confidential.

13. Prevention Techniques Cont’d. • Keep DINs Secure • Require drivers to memorize their DINs; DO NOT keep cards and DINs together or write the DIN on the card • Drivers should avoid giving a DIN to a station attendant and should insist on entering the number without the help of the attendant • Drivers should not use the DIN or any variation of the DIN as the odometer entry © 2008 Wright Express. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and confidential.

14. Prevention Techniques Cont’d. • Immediately report driver and/or vehicle changes • If a vehicle is transferred, sold, or retired, immediately cancel the appropriate card • If a driver leaves or is dismissed, be sure to: • Cancel his or her DIN immediately • Retrieve his or her card • Verify that all other cards are in their appropriate locations © 2008 Wright Express.

21. Prevention Techniques Cont’d. • Exception Reports • Many fleet managers find that the Exception Report is their most valuable tool in the monthly report package. Here is where you’ll find any irregularities, possible misuse, or abuse. For example, if your fleet’s vehicles only travel between the hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., you would want to investigate a transaction that occurred at 10 p.m. • Exception reporting is available on demand using WEXOnline. You can run queries to look for irregularities with transactions as they post to your account. Information is available for the current month, plus the previous twelve months so you can easily look for purchasing patterns or trends across time. © 2008 Wright Express. All Rights Reserved.
