CargoScore makes the trustworthiness of carriers verifiable before you book, using publicly available EU data. A measured response to a growing systemic risk: phantom carriers and organized freight fraud. It is built on public sources and stays independent of freight exchanges.
Documented losses are climbing on both sides of the Atlantic. The pattern is consistent: professional networks, stolen identities, and a booking process that was never designed to verify who is really behind the carrier. Europe is following the same curve, with a lag.
In May 2026, the Düsseldorf Regional Court sentenced a group to up to five years in prison for more than €800,000 in damages. The entry point was a single character: a .com domain in place of .de.
CargoScore turns publicly available EU data into a single, continuously maintained Trust Score. The decision to book rests on evidence, not on an email that happens to look legitimate. The method is built in three stages.
Six data signals drawn from public EU sources, aggregated into one Trust Score before a load is ever handed over.
Trust is not a single check. Alerts fire the moment a carrier profile changes: ownership transfers, newly registered domains, new sanctions entries, or shifts in email infrastructure.
Network graph analysis across cases, anomaly detection, and NLP scanning of court rulings and insolvency notices in multiple European languages, catching networks before they resurface under a new name.
The briefing covers the European fraud landscape, the public data signals behind the Trust Score, and the checks companies that book carriers should have in place today.
