Ghost Employee
A ghost employee is a common ploy used in payroll fraud. A ghost employee is a person who is on an employer's payroll, but who does not actually work for the company, and perhaps does not exist at all. Someone in the payroll department creates and maintains a ghost employee in the payroll system, and then intercepts and cashes the paychecks intended for this person for themselves.
Ghost terminal
Ghost terminal, used in recent reports of skimming crimes, are electronic devices tailored to copy a credit card’s magnetic strip and Personal Identification Number in order to steal money from an account. They are manufactured devices that appear to be real ATM touch pads or credit-card readers. They are often placed over a legitimate ATM or other card-reading device, often in a manner that is unnoticeable to most consumers.
