Watch Out For Mobile Deposit Fraud

Kayleen Kavanagh / February 12, 2020

We’ve previously shared about employment scams, where fraudsters prey on victims looking for jobs. In a typical employment scam, the fraudster poses as an employer and sends the victim a check with instructions to deposit it into the victim's account, keeping a small portion of the check for themselves and wiring the remaining balance to another account. A few days later, the deposited check returns on the victim’s account (as a counterfeit, account closed, or other non-payment reason), leaving the victim responsible for the lost funds.

Pink Ribbon Pins for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Fraudsters Like Peer-to-Peer Payments Too

Kayleen Kavanagh / June 26, 2018

Pay back your best friend for lunch? Easy. Transfer money to your sister for your parent's anniversary gift? Easy-peasy.  Unsuspectingly transfer money to a scammer. Yes, all too easy.  Peer-to-peer (P2P) apps, such as Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and Square have increased in popularity and earned a spot as an efficient means of transferring money quickly to other parties. This method of transferring funds is not only a plus for consumers, but fraudsters as well who are always on the prowl for new ways of scamming their victims.
