Prevent & Protect - Online financial fraud is a growing international criminal enterprise. Often it’s committed by sophisticated organized crime networks, with proceeds funding such illegal activities as drugs and weapons trafficking, prostitution and money laundering.1 Fraudsters often pose as legitimate organizations, family members in distress or peddlers of get-rich-quick schemes. They may ask for money directly, but just as often their goal is to steal your identity. Armed with personal data, scammers can open new bank accounts, transfer funds and apply for loans, credit cards, passports and government benefits – all under your name!
