purpose that sounds legitimate but in reality is only a way to get the consumer to part with their hard-earned money.
ADVANCED FEE/PREPAYMENT SCAM
In this scam the victim sends money to the fraudster in advance of receiving a certain product or service such as a credit card,
loan or grant. After sending the money, the victim never receives the product or service they were told they would receive.
ANTI-VIRUS SCAM
A fraudster contacts the victim claiming they are from a well-known computer or software company and a virus has been detected
on the victim’s computer. The fraudster advises the victim that the virus can be removed and the computer protected for a fee. In
reality, there was no virus, and the victim has just lost the money they sent for protection.
CHARITY SCAM
A fraudster pretending to be from a charity organization contacts the victim, asking for a donation. The fraudster may pose as a
representative of a well-known, legitimate charity organization or may invent their own. The fraudster may claim the donation is
being used to help victims of a recent current event, such as a disaster or emergency (flood, cyclone, earthquake, etc). Legitimate
charity organizations will never ask for donations to be sent to an individual through a money transfer service.
EMERGENCY/GRANDPARENT SCAM
The fraudster will either make the victim believe they are someone the victim knows or they are acting on behalf of someone they
know who is in need of money for an urgent situation or emergency. A common type of Emergency Scam is the Grandparent
Scam, where a fraudster contacts a grandparent and impersonates either their grandchild or a person of authority and describes
an urgent situation or emergency involving that grandchild. No emergency has actually occurred and the victim who sent money
to help has now lost their money.
EMPLOYMENT/MYSTERY SHOPPING SCAM
The fraudster sends a cheque to the victim who believes they have accepted a job and explains that the cheque can be used for
up front expenses. This is also called the Mystery Shopping Scam, where the victim believes they are being hired to evaluate a
money transfer service. The fraudster tells the victim to deposit the cheque and use the money for these expenses related to the
job and then send the remaining funds back. When the cheque bounces, the victim is left responsible for the full amount.
FAKE CHEQUES SCAM
Fake cheques are used as part of many scams. Victims are often sent a cheque and told to deposit it and use the funds for
employment expenses, internet purchases, mystery shopping, etc. Fake cheques are also used for Overpayment Scams, where
a victim is sent a cheque for an amount that exceeds what they expect to receive as payment for a service or product, and the
fraudster tells the victim to send the excess back. The cheque is not valid, and the victim is left responsible.
IMMIGRATION SCAM
A fraudster pretending to be a government official calls the victim saying there is a problem with the victim’s immigration record.
The fraudster demands immediate payment to fix any of the issues the victim may disclose. The fraudster may get angry and
threaten the victim with deportation if the payment is not made immediately.
INTERNET PURCHASE SCAM
The victim expresses interest about a product or service advertised online. The fraudster uses a number of tactics to help make the
sale appear legitimate, but the victim will never receive the item purchased after sending their money.
TAX SCAM
The fraudster calls the victim and tells the victim that money is owed for taxes and it must be paid immediately to avoid arrest,
deportation or suspension of license/passport. The victim is instructed to send money to pay the taxes.
LOTTERY/PRIZE SCAM
The victim is informed through an unsolicited communication that they have won a large lottery, prize or sweepstakes and must
pay to cover taxes or fees to claim their winnings. The victim may receive a cheque for part of the “winnings” to deposit to pay for
the fees. The victim sends the money, the cheque bounces and the victim is responsible for the amount.
RELATIONSHIP SCAM
The fraudster creates a fake relationship with the victim who believes it’s real through a dating website or social media platform.
At some point the communication progresses and the fraudster requests money from the victim for a number of reasons such as
travel, medical, etc. In the end the fraudster is only attempting to gain funds and not a relationship.
RENTAL PROPERTY SCAM
The fraudster advertises a rental property and goes to great lengths to make the property look legitimate. Once the victim
expresses interest in the property, the fraudster asks the victim to send money for a deposit, to verify funds or for other legitimate
sounding reasons. The victim sends the money but ultimately loses their money, as the rental property is not legitimate.
Additionally to that, we would like to inform that exception was applied for Money Transfer Service Scheme and there are no taxes on cross border inward remittances

Advance Fee/Prepayment
In this type of fraud the victim sends money to the fraudster in advance of receiving a certain product or service. The Fraudster might ask the victim for a small fee in advance to open a new credit card or to secure a loan. This type of fraud usually includes products like credit cards, loans, or investment. After the money for fee is sent using our services, the consumer never receives the product or service they thought they were getting
Mystery Shopping
There are multiple ways this type of fraud can occur. Commonly, fraudsters contact victims through employment websites and ask them to evaluate money transfer service. The fraudster sends the victim a check and instructs them to deposit the check and use the funds to send a money transfer. The victim sends the money transfer using money transfer service and the fraudster picks it up and when the check bounces the fraudster is gone and so the victim’s money
Over-payment
The victim is sent a check in payment of a service or product that appears to be valid, but will eventually bounce. Typically the amount of the check exceeds what the victim expects to receive and he or she is instructed to send the excess to fraudster using money transfer services. The check will bounce and the fraudster is gone and so is victim’s money
Employment
The Fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster using money transfer services. The check will bounce and the fraudster is gone and so is the victim’s money
Lottery/Prize
Victims are informed an unsolicited communication the have won a large lottery prize or sweepstakes. The victim receives a check for part of the winnings from the fraudster and is told to pay a small amount to cover taxes and/or processing fees. The victim uses the check to pay for the taxes or processing fees and is left without the money he/she using money transfer services when the check bounces (and the fraudster cannot be found)
Rental Property
Fraudsters advertise a rental property usually at a considerable discount. This allows the fraudster to receive as many replies or inquiries as possible. The fraudster goes to great lengths to make this property look as legitimate as possible and might include pictures, floor plans etc. To make sure you express an interest in the property, the fraudster will ask you to send money using money transfer services for a deposit, verify funds, or other legitimate sounding reasons. The victim ultimately loses their money, as the rental property is not legitimate
Emergency scams
This fraud is based on persuading the victim to send money using money transfer services for an urgent situation or emergency and usually occurs in one of two ways. Fraudsters will either make the victim believe they are someone the victim knows or that the fraudster is acting on behalf of someone victim knows. The fraudster will create a story such as the need for bail, fines, medical expenses, etc. The fraudster may also use social media sites to further this type of fraud. In this instance. No emergency has actually occurred, and the victim loses their money as a part of this fraud scheme
Grandparent
This fraud is a variation on the Emergency Funds fraud. The fraudster will contact grandparents and impersonate either their grandchildren or a person of authority such as law enforcement, medical professional or attorney . The fraudster describes an urgent situation or emergency that requires money to be sent using money transfer services immediately to help the grandchild to with bail, medical expenses or emergency travel funds. In this instance, no emergency has actually occurred. And the victim loses their money
Internet Purchases
Victims are told to send money using money transfer services for a product, auction item or service to the seller. The fraudster will use a number of tactics to make the victim believe that the products or services are legitimate, but once the victim sends the money they will not receive the purchased item or service
Relationship
Fraudsters will create a fake relationship (i.e. online friendship, internet dating, promise of marriage, etc.) with the victim who believes it’s real, perhaps through online communication – like a relationship established through an online dating service. At some point the fraudster will request money using money transfer services for a number of reasons such as travel, medical, etc. In the end the fraudster is only attempting to gain funds and not a relationship
Fake checks
Fake checks are used for many of the frauds explained in this section. These checks can be used for employment expenses, internet purchases, mystery shopping, etc. Remember not to use funds from a check deposited in your account until it officially clears which can take days/weeks
Consumer fraud is a crime. Most consumer fraud involves the perception on the part of the victim that they will receive some sort of financial gain. The common theme in consumer fraud is that the sender does not have a personal connection or relationship with the receiver. Stay focused and don’t get caught!
