Account Take-Over Fraud

Account Takeover Fraud
Account Takeover Fraud

Identity theft related to financial fraud is a top concern for banking customers and banking institutions in all parts of the world in cluding St. Paul. In fact, identity theft is the fastest growing type of fraud in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other developed countries.

Account takeover fraud is one of the two basic forms of financial identity theft (the other being application fraud), and it occurs wh en a fraudster obtains and uses a victim’s personal information to take control of exis ting bank or credit card accounts and carries out unauthorized transactions against them. A pplication fraud occurs when a perpetrator uses someone else’s personal inform ation to establish new accounts.
Fraudsters employ a variety of techniques to obtain the personal and financial information typically needed to take control of existing accounts. Obtaining such information can be as simple as dumpster diving or cold calling. Alternatively, fraudsters may use more technology-reliant methods, such as phishing, SMiShing, or establishing fake websites to collect payment details.
See Scam Alert page on Website for information on “smishing” and “phishing”
The following list provides some useful methods to protect against identity fraud:
• Always check bank and credit card statements for inaccuracies.
• Check your financial information regularly, looking for what should and should not be there.
• Order and check your credit report at least once a year.

• Before providing personal information,make sure the individual or business requesting it has a valid reason for requiring the information.

• Never write your credit card numbers or Social Security number on checks or on the outside of envelopes.
• Do not put your Social Security number on any document unless you are legally required to do so.
• Do not give account numbers over the telephone or to persons/companies you arenot familiar with.
• Do not use cordless or cellular telephones or e-mail to transmit financial or private personal information.
• Keep all financial documents in a secure place.
• Purchase a shredder, and use it!
• If you have your driver’s license information pre-printed on your checks, shred canceled checks before discarding them.
• Shred pre-approved credit applications, statements, or bills that contain personalinformation.
• Shred any papers with financial information and identifiers rather than simply throwing them in the trash.
• Have yourself taken off”pre-screened lists.”
• Mail bills from the post office or your business.
• Consider having your name, telephone number, and/or address removed from the telephone directory.
• Do not provide personal information over the telephone unless you initiated the call and know who you are speaking with.
• If telemarketing companies call, tell them: “Under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, I want to be on your ‘do not call’ list.”
• Keep your birth certificate in a safe place.
• Make sure your computer security(spam filters, virus protection, firewall,passwords, etc.) is robust and up-to-date.
