Real schemes, real detection, real prevention
Sanitized examples from the past 30 days
How we catch every type of theft and fraud
Till tapping, false voids, drawer manipulation, cash skimming, and deposit theft. Average recovery: $2,800 per incident.
Void abuse, refund fraud, discount manipulation, training mode theft. Caught through transaction-video matching.
Under-ringing, fake scanning, free merchandise to friends. AI behavioral analysis catches patterns humans miss.
Buddy punching, ghost employees, false overtime, extended breaks. Biometric verification eliminates these completely.
Complex fraud rings that operated for years—until DohShield arrived
The Scheme: A network of 7 employees across 3 gas stations operated a complex fraud ring for 2+ years. Night shift would void lottery tickets after customers left, day shift would process fake refunds, and the manager would manipulate fuel delivery records. They communicated via encrypted messaging and rotated roles to avoid pattern detection.
How We Caught It: DohShield's AI noticed correlation patterns across locations—voids at one store matched refunds at another. DohAssist experts identified the manager as the common link. Video evidence showed coordinated timing of fraudulent activities. Full scheme exposed in 72 hours.
The Scheme: Seafood vendor, meat manager, and receiving clerk operated a three-way scheme. Vendor would short deliveries by 20%, bill for premium while delivering standard, and provide kickbacks. Manager would approve false invoices. Clerk would falsify receiving documents. $427,000 stolen over 2 years.
How We Caught It: AI object recognition counted actual deliveries vs. invoices. Pattern analysis revealed manager always worked during this vendor's deliveries. DohAssist reconciliation found invoice anomalies. Investigation revealed monthly cash payments in parking lot.
The Scheme: Veteran bartender developed an "undetectable" system: bring personal bottle of premium liquor, sell drinks from it all night, pocket the cash. Pour from house bottles for inventory counts. Use legitimate sales from other nights to balance reports. $800-1,200 stolen per shift.
How We Caught It: DohShield cameras caught bartender accessing personal bag repeatedly. Transaction analysis showed impossible pour patterns—selling 50 premium cocktails from a bottle that holds 20. DohAssist experts matched video to every drink sale, revealing the scheme completely.

The integrated detection methodology behind 125,000+ catches
Machine learning algorithms analyze millions of data points, identifying suspicious patterns invisible to humans. Behavioral baselines for every employee, transaction anomaly detection, and predictive fraud modeling.
Every POS transaction matched with synchronized video within milliseconds. See exactly what happened during every sale, void, refund, and no-sale. Irrefutable evidence for every incident.
DohAssist experts review flagged incidents, verify schemes, and identify sophisticated fraud that AI alone might miss. Human intuition plus technology equals unbeatable detection.
How catching incidents prevents future theft
For every incident we catch and document, we prevent 10-15 future attempts. When employees see colleagues terminated with video evidence, when they know every transaction is monitored, when they understand that DohAssist experts review everything daily—theft becomes unthinkable.
