Banking Fraud

Being faced with charges of banking fraud can be devastating. You will probably be stressed, worried and upset by your situation and be keen to find help. If you are in this situation, early advice from a fraud solicitor who is specialised in providing defence for fraud and financial crime cases involving banking fraud is invaluable. There are several different types of banking fraud and they include:

• Bank card and cheque fraud. This happens when someone obtains and uses a bank card or a chequebook belonging to someone else
• Bank account fraud. This type of fraud involves appropriating someone else’s bank account details and make payments with them. It could happen as a result of identity theft
• PIN entry devices. This happens when someone modifies a PIN entry device in order to obtain payers’ private card details when they use it. Then  to be later used to fraudulently transfer or withdraw money out of them
• Account takeovers. When someone gains control of a victim’s online accounts from Internet banking to email accounts. Then uses them to steal money. This could be the result of phishing, malware or spyware activities.
• Counterfeit cheque fraud. When you are paid with a cheque that has been made or tampered in order to be rejected by the bank. So that then the victim will be unable to cash it
• Card cloning.  This involves capturing all the data on a credit card, so it is possible to take money from the victim’s account. This is often referred also as card skimming, because it may involve placing a card skimmer on an ATM card slot or other machines accepting debit or credit cards

These are only a few types of banking fraud.
