Advance Fee Fraud
In advance fee frauds, fraudsters seek your permission to transfer funds to your account from a wealthy benefactor.
In such cases, you will be approached through a letter, fax, email or telephone from someone claiming to be a senior bank official. Victims are repeatedly requested to part with sums of money in order to help the transfer process and as the fraud progresses a considerable amount of money is lost. The promised transfer, of course, never happens.
