A SAFER lookup says “active.” It won’t tell you the authority is for sale or the address is a mail-drop. AlphaLoops watches the patterns fraud actually leaves behind. 01 MC authority for sale An authority changing hands is a prime vehicle for identity transfer. Fraud 02 Chameleon / reincarnation A new authority that’s really an out-of-service carrier in disguise. Fraud 03 Mail-drop / PO-box HQ A registered “headquarters” that’s a UPS Store or vacant lot. Identity 04 Shared-address cluster Multiple carriers stacked at one address — a classic MC-mill tell. Identity 05 Recent contact change Phone or email on the federal record changed just before booking. Identity 06 Equipment liquidation A carrier selling off trucks while still accepting new loads.
