A car dealership is offering sales staff financial incentives to report potential fraudulent activity from customers rather than completing the sale, shifting focus from closing deals to preventing fraud. The policy rewards employees for identifying suspicious transactions, ensuring compliance and protecting the company from financial losses.

The move could set a precedent for how dealerships balance sales targets with fraud prevention measures.
