Check and Account Fraud

Check and account frauds are a popular method to scam our members and their funds.  If you can answer “YES” to any of the following questions provided by the FBI, you could be the potential victim of a check or account fraud.

  • Is the CHECK received from an item you sold on the Internet, such as a car, boat, jewelry, etc?

  • Is the amount of the CHECK more than the item’s selling price?

  • Did you receive the CHECK via an overnight delivery service?

  • Is the CHECK connected to communicating with someone by email?

  • Is the CHECK drawn on a business or individual account that is different from the person buying your item or product?

  • Have you been informed that you were the winner of a LOTTERY that you did not enter?

  • Have you been instructed to WIRE, SEND or SHIP MONEY as soon as possible to a large U.S. city or to another country such as Canada, England or Nigeria?

  • Have you been asked to PAY money to receive a deposit from another country such as Canada, England, or Nigeria?

  • Are you receiving PAY or a COMMISSION for facilitating money transfers through your account?
