How Bank Fraud Can Happen

Every person relies on banks to hold their money safely. Some people even have several bank accounts, at brick-and-mortar banks and online banks. Unfortunately, no matter where one banks, he or she could be left vulnerable to fraud. We want to believe that banks will do everything in their power to protect those interests. Bank fraud has especially become more prevalent in the years after the 2008 recession, where the incidence of mortgage and bank fraud rose dramatically.

Bank fraud comprises a wide range of illegal activity, such as:

• Loan fraud
• Forging checks
• Check kiting
• Counterfeiting
• Making false statements on loans
• Falsifying mortgage documents

Another surprising component that comprises many bank fraud cases is that those who are accused may not be typically the hardboiled criminals with a long track record. Rather, they may be the average person, who has no idea that they have written a bad check or cashed a check that was written fraudulently or belongs to someone else.
