A threatening letter is received by a company CEO via fax. What characteristics can be examined to gain information about the sending machine, fraudulent source information, and the sending individual?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include points such as the following:
The sending fax machine will print a header known as the transmitting terminal identifier (TTI) at the top of each fax page. The header and the document's text should have different type styles.
TTIs can be fraudulently prepared and placed in the appropriate position on a fax copy, but a microscopic examination of the TTI's print quickly reveals significant characteristics that distinguish it from a genuine TTI.
Information about the sending individual can be gained from analysis of the letter's spelling, punctuation, phraseology, and grammar.
