WEBINAR DETAILS

The method of choice for many a scammer is wire transfer. The Romance Scam, Work-From-Home Scam, Loan Scam, the ever-popular Nigerian scam, and a swarm of others begin with a hook that reels accountholders in and ends with a set of urgent wire instructions that often result in losses.

This session will review the latest wire scams circulating today as well as a few of the tried-and-true standards. It will cover the UCC 4A requirements and how they impact the way fraud is handled and who is liable for the losses. Join this jam-packed session to discover controls and procedures you can implement to respond to wire fraud and mitigate losses.
