Money Order Fraud Alert
Several customers have received letters containing international money orders made out or signed over to them. The letters tell various stories, but basically ask your assistance in cashing the money orders for them. The scam artists offer to pay you a fee for doing this for them. All you need to do is deposit the money orders into your account and send them a cashier’s check for the face amount less 10-percent. You get to keep the 10-percent. The money orders are returned as worthless. The customer’s account is debited for the amount of the money order deposited, and they lose the amount of money that they sent to the scam artist. If you receive any kind of letter or notice requiring you to send money, credit or debit card numbers, or any other financial information, DO NOT DO IT! Please bring it in to your closest First National Bank of Florida branch and let us research it for you. |
