BANK & WIRE FRAUD
HOW WIRE FRAUD HAPPENS
Wire fraud and bank transfer scams often involve fake payment instructions, compromised email accounts, impersonation, fraudulent invoices, or criminals directing victims to send money to controlled bank accounts. Once a wire transfer is completed, the funds may move quickly through multiple accounts, making timing and transaction records especially important.
If you have already sent money by bank transfer, SWIFT, ACH, domestic wire, or international wire, the case should be reviewed as soon as possible. Payment references, beneficiary details, bank records, emails, screenshots, and the exact transfer timeline can help determine what reporting, tracing, dispute, or recovery options may still be available.
COMMON TYPES OF WIRE & BANK TRANSFER FRAUD
01
Business Email & Invoice Fraud
Fraudsters impersonate a company, supplier, executive, or business contact and send false bank details or payment instructions.
02
Phishing & Bank Account Takeover
Fake emails, websites, or login pages are used to obtain banking credentials and initiate unauthorized transfers.
03
Altered Wire Instructions
Legitimate payment requests are intercepted and the beneficiary or receiving bank information is secretly replaced.
04
Advance Fee & Impersonation Fraud
Victims are pressured to send bank transfers for supposed fees, taxes, refunds, account releases, investments, or urgent emergencies.
