Bank Fraud
Bank fraud can take many forms. Some cases of bank fraud involve intentional conduct by someone to launder money, usually to cover evidence of illegally obtained income. In many cases of bank fraud, however, the central issue revolves around identity theft or other unauthorized use of a person’s bank account. Fraud involves an intention to deceive. In the case of fraud involving a bank, the intent to deceive may be as regards the bank itself or a customer of the bank. Victims of identity theft often must close bank accounts first, then attempt to engage in processes to recover lost funds from the fraud. International bank fraud is often attempted by way of e-mail scams asking people to engage in illicit wire transfers.
Finally, bank fraud is attempted at times through Internet scams called phishing.
