Types of fraud

Investment and payment fraud*

In investment and payment fraud, the victim is invited to send a lump sum to invest in bonds or fictitious fund(s) offered by the « bank ».

Payment fraud (advance fee fraud)*

In payment fraud (or advance fee fraud), the victim makes an advance payment to the « bank » to receive a service, such as « administrative fees » for a loan or « legal fees » to process an « inheritance ». The victim is asked to pay before the loan is approved or the sum received, after which the fraudsters disappear.
