Wire Fraud Guidance
Fraudsters move fast when they successfully convince a victim to wire money. When stolen funds arrive in a fraudster’s bank account, they quickly engage a network of money launderers who withdraw the funds in cash, transfer them to other accounts, and/or convert them to cryptocurrency.
Wire transfers are intended to be a final and irrevocable method of payment. While FSB may attempt to request a recall of the wire transfer, it’s important to note that this is not always possible. The receiving bank may be unable to reverse the transaction, especially if the funds have already been moved or withdrawn.
