financial institution.[1] In many instances, bank fraud is a criminal offense. While the specific elements of a
particular banking fraud law vary between jurisdictions, the term bank fraud applies to actions that employ
a scheme or artifice, as opposed to bank robbery or theft. For this reason, bank fraud is sometimes
considered a white-collar crime.

[edit]Bank impersonation
Fraudsters may set up companies with names that sound similar to existing banks, or assume titles
conferring notability to themselves for plausibility, then abscond with the deposited funds.

[edit]Stolen checks

Some fraudsters obtain access to facilities handling large numbers of checks, such as a mailroom or post
office or the offices of a tax authority (receiving many checks) or a corporate payroll or a social or
veterans' benefit office (issuing many checks). A few checks go missing; accounts are then opened under
assumed names and the checks (often tampered or altered in some way) deposited so that the money
can then be withdrawn by thieves. Stolen blank checkbooks are also of value to forgers who then sign as
if they were the depositor.
[edit]Cheque kiting
Cheque kiting exploits a system in which, when a cheque is deposited to a bank account, the money is
made available immediately even though it is not removed from the account on which the cheque is
drawn until the cheque actually clears.
[edit]Forgery and altered cheques
Main article: Forgery
3. Thieves have altered cheques to change the name (in order to deposit cheques intended for payment to
someone else) or the amount on the face of a cheque (a few strokes of a pen can change $100.00 into
$100,000.00, although such a large figure may raise some eyebrows).
Instead of tampering with a real cheque, some fraudsters will attempt to forge a depositor's signature on a
blank cheque or even print their own cheques drawn on accounts owned by others, non-existent accounts
or even alleged accounts owned by non-existent depositors. The cheque will then be deposited to another
bank and the money withdrawn before the cheque can be returned as invalid or for non-sufficient funds.
[edit]Accounting fraud
In order to hide serious financial problems, some businesses have been known to use fraudulent
bookkeeping to overstate sales and income, inflate the worth of the company's assets or state a profit
when the company is operating at a loss. These tampered records are then used to seek investment in
the company's bond or security issues or to make fraudulent loan applications in a final attempt to obtain
more money to delay the inevitable collapse of an unprofitable or mismanaged firm. Examples of
accounting frauds: Enron and WorldCom. These two companies "cooked the books" in order to appear as
they had profits each quarter when in fact they were deeply in debt.
[edit]Uninsured deposits
There are a number of cases each year where the bank itself turns out to be uninsured or not licensed to
operate at all. The objective is usually to solicit for deposits to this uninsured "bank", although some may
also sell stock representing ownership of the "bank". Sometimes the names appear very official or very
similar to those of legitimate banks. For instance, the "Chase Trust Bank" of Washington D.C.appeared in
2002 with no license and no affiliation to its seemingly apparent namesake; the real Chase Manhattan
Bank[2] is based in New York. Accounting fraud has also been used to conceal other theft taking place
within a company.
[edit]Demand draft fraud
Demand draft fraud is usually done by one or more dishonest bank employees. They remove few DD
leaves or DD books from stock and write them like a regular DD. Since they are insiders, they know the
coding, punching of a demand draft. These Demand drafts will be issued payable at distant town/city
without debiting an account. Then it will be cashed at the payable branch. For the paying branch it is just
another DD. This kind of fraud will be discovered only when the head office does the branch-wise
reconciliation, which normally will take 6 months. By that time the money is irrecoverable.
[edit]Rogue traders
A rogue trader is a highly placed insider nominally authorised to invest sizeable funds on behalf of the
bank; this trader secretly makes progressively more aggressive and risky investments using the bank's
money, when one investment goes bad, the rogue trader engages in further market speculation in the
hope of a quick profit which would hide or cover the loss.
Unfortunately, when one investment loss is piled onto another, the costs to the bank can reach into the
hundreds of millions of dollars; there have even been cases in which a bank goes out of business due to
market investment losses.
Some of the largest bank frauds ever detected were perpetrated by currency traders John Rusnak,
and Nick Leeson. Jérôme Kerviel, allegedly defrauded Société Générale of 4.9 billion euros ($7.1 billion)
us dollars, while trading stock derivatives.
4. [edit]Fraudulent loans
One way to remove money from a bank is to take out a loan, a practice bankers would be more than
willing to encourage if they know that the money will be repaid in full with interest. A fraudulent loan,
however, is one in which the borrower is a business entity controlled by a dishonest bank officer or an
accomplice; the "borrower" then declares bankruptcy or vanishes and the money is gone. The borrower
may even be a non-existent entity and the loan merely an artifice to conceal a theft of a large sum of
money from the bank. This can also seen as a component within mortgage fraud (Bell, 2010).[3]
[edit]Fraudulent loan applications
These take a number of forms varying from individuals using false information to hide a credit history filled
with financial problems and unpaid loans to corporations using accounting fraud to overstate profits in
order to make a risky loan appear to be a sound investment for the bank.
[edit]Forged or fraudulent documents
Forged documents are often used to conceal other thefts; banks tend to count their money meticulously
so every penny must be accounted for. A document claiming that a sum of money has been borrowed as
a loan, withdrawn by an individual depositor or transferred or invested can therefore be valuable to a thief
who wishes to conceal the minor detail that the bank's money has in fact been stolen and is now gone.
[edit]Wire transfer fraud
Wire transfer networks such as the international SWIFT interbank fund transfer system are tempting as
targets as a transfer, once made, is difficult or impossible to reverse. As these networks are used by
banks to settle accounts with each other, rapid or overnight wire transfer of large amounts of money are
commonplace; while banks have put checks and balances in place, there is the risk that insiders may
attempt to use fraudulent or forged documents which claim to request a bank depositor's money be wired
to another bank, often an offshore account in some distant foreign country.
There is a very high risk of fraud when dealing with unknown or uninsured institutions.
The risk is greatest when dealing with offshore or Internet banks (as this allows selection of countries with
lax banking regulations), but not by any means limited to these institutions. There is an annual list of
unlicensed banks on the US Treasury Department site which currently is fifteen pages in length.
[edit]Bill discounting fraud
Essentially a confidence trick, a fraudster uses a company at their disposal to gain confidence with a
bank, by appearing as a genuine, profitable customer. To give the illusion of being a desired customer,
the company regularly and repeatedly uses the bank to get payment from one or more of its customers.
These payments are always made, as the customers in question are part of the fraud, actively paying any
and all bills raised by the bank. After time, after the bank is happy with the company, the company
requests that the bank settles its balance with the company before billing the customer. Again, business
continues as normal for the fraudulent company, its fraudulent customers, and the unwitting bank. Only
when the outstanding balance between the bank and the company is sufficiently large, the company takes
the payment from the bank, and the company and its customers disappear, leaving no-one to pay the bills
issued by the bank.
[edit]Payment card fraud
Credit card fraud is widespread as a means of stealing from banks, merchants and clients.
5. [edit]Booster cheques
A booster cheque is a fraudulent or bad cheque used to make a payment to a credit card account in order
to "bust out" or raise the amount of available credit on otherwise-legitimate credit cards. The amount of
the cheque is credited to the card account by the bank as soon as the payment is made, even though the
cheque has not yet cleared. Before the bad cheque is discovered, the perpetrator goes on a spending
spree or obtains cash advances until the newly-"raised" available limit on the card is reached. The original
cheque then bounces, but by then it is already too late.
[edit]Stolen payment cards
Often, the first indication that a victim's wallet has been stolen is a phone call from a credit card issuer
asking if the person has gone on a spending spree; the simplest form of this theft involves stealing the
card itself and charging a number of high-ticket items to it in the first few minutes or hours before it is
reported as stolen.
A variant of this is to copy just the credit card numbers (instead of drawing attention by stealing the card
itself) in order to use the numbers in online frauds.
[edit]Duplication or skimming of card information
This takes a number of forms, ranging from a dishonest merchant copying clients' credit card numbers for
later misuse (or a thief using carbon copies from old mechanical card imprint machines to steal the info)
to the use of tampered credit or debit card readers to copy the magnetic stripe from a payment card while
a hidden camera captures the numbers on the face of the card.
Some thieves have surreptitiously added equipment to publicly accessible automatic teller machines; a
fraudulent card stripe reader would capture the contents of the magnetic stripe while a hidden camera
would sneak a peek at the user's PIN. The fraudulent equipment would then be removed and the data
used to produce duplicate cards that could then be used to make ATM withdrawals from the victims'
accounts.
[edit]Empty ATM envelope deposits
A criminal overdraft can result due to the account holder making a worthless or misrepresented deposit at
an automated teller machine in order to obtain more cash than present in the account or to prevent a
check from being returned due to non-sufficient funds. United Statesbanking law makes the first $100
immediately available and it may be possible for much more uncollected funds to be lost by the bank the
following business day before this type of fraud is discovered. The crime could also be perpetrated
against another person's account in an "account takeover" or with a counterfeit ATM card, or an account
opened in another person's name as part of an identity theft scam. The emergence of ATM deposit
technology that scans currency and checks without using an envelope may prevent this type of fraud in
the future.[4]
[edit]Impersonation
Main article: Identity theft
Impersonation has become an increasing problem; the scam operates by obtaining information about an
individual, then using the information to apply for identity cards, accounts and credit in that person's
name. Often little more than name, parents' name, date and place of birth are sufficient to obtain a birth
certificate; each document obtained then is used as identification in order to obtain more identity
6. documents. Government-issued standard identification numbers such as "social security numbers" are
also valuable to the fraudster.
Information may be obtained from insiders (such as dishonest bank or government employees), by
fraudulent offers for employment or investments (in which the victim is asked for a long list of personal
information) or by sending forged bank or taxation correspondence. Some fictitious tax forms which
purported to have been sent by banks to clients in 2002 were:
W-9095 Application Form for Certificate Status/Ownership for Withholding Tax
W-8BEN Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding
W-8888
The actual origin of these forms is neither the bank nor the taxman - they're sent by would-be identity
thieves and W-8888 doesn't exist, W-9095 is also fictitious (the real W-9 asks much less info) and
W-8BEN is real but may have been tampered to add intrusive additional questions. The original forms on
which these fakes were based are intended to collect information for income tax on income from deposits
and investment.
In some cases, a name/SIN pair is needed to impersonate a citizen while working as an illegal
immigrant but often the identity thieves are using the bogus identity documents in the commission of other
crimes or even to hide from prosecution for past crimes. The use of a stolen identity for other frauds such
as gaining access to bank accounts, credit cards, loans and fraudulent social benefit or tax refund claims
is not uncommon.
Unsurprisingly, the perpertators of such fraud have been known to take out loans and disappear with the
cash, quite content to see the wrong persons blamed when the debts go bad or the police come calling.
Some corporations have engaged in over-expansion, using borrowed money to finance costly mergers
and acquisitions and overstating assets, sales or income to appear solvent even after becoming seriously
financially overextended.
[edit]Prime bank fraud
The "prime bank" operation which claims to offer an urgent, exclusive opportunity to cash in on the best-
kept secret in the banking industry, guaranteed deposits in "prime banks", "constitutional banks", "bank
notes and bank-issued debentures from top 500 world banks", "bank guarantees and standby letters of
credit" which generate spectacular returns at no risk and are "endorsed by the World Bank" or various
national governments and central bankers. However, these official-sounding phrases and more are the
hallmark of the so-called "prime bank" fraud; they may sound great on paper, but the guaranteed offshore
investment with the vague claims of an easy 100% monthly return are all fictitious financial instruments
intended to defraud individuals.
[edit]The fictitious 'bank inspector'
This is an old scam with a number of variants; the original scheme involved claiming to be a bank
inspector, claiming that the bank suspects that one of its employees is stealing money and that to help
catch the culprit the "bank inspector" needs the depositor to withdraw all of his or her money. At this point,
the victim would be carrying a large amount of cash and can be targeted for the theft of these funds.
7. Other variants included claiming to be a prospective business partner with "the opportunity of a lifetime"
then asking for access to cash "to prove that you trust me" or even claiming to be a new immigrant who
carries all their money in cash for fear that the banks will steal it from them - if told by others that they
keep their money in banks, they then ask the depositor to withdraw it to prove the bank hasn't stolen it.
Impersonation of officials has more recently become a way of stealing personal information for use in theft
of identity frauds.
[edit]Phishing and Internet fraud
Main article: Phishing
Phishing operates by sending forged e-mail, impersonating an online bank, auction or payment site; the
e-mail directs the user to a forged web site which is designed to look like the login to the legitimate site
but which claims that the user must update personal info. The information thus stolen is then used in
other frauds, such as theft of identity or online auction fraud.
A number of malicious "Trojan horse" programmes have also been used to snoop on Internet users while
online, capturing keystrokes or confidential data in order to send it to outside sites.
[edit]Money laundering
Main article: Money laundering
The term "money laundering" dates back to the days of Al Capone; Money laundering has since been
used to describe any scheme by which the true origin of funds is hidden or concealed.
While Money Laundering is not a form of bank fraud, the two crimes are often committed together.
Criminals often commit fraud or other financial crimes and then will launder the funds in order to
disassociate the proceeds from the criminal activity through which they were gained. Thus, fraud is
considered by the FBI as a "predecessor" or "collateral" crime to Money Laundering.[5]
