The letters purport to originate from major U.S. banks stating they are Proof of Funds for bank accounts in various amounts. We are providing information to expose fraud activity in finance and investments based on the TRENDS approach to help promote the health of the financial community.

The Truth about Fraudulent POF letters
Like most illegal scams, they are perpetrated by individuals that count on the lack of knowledge on the part of their targets, and the POF letters they provide have similar elements that make them easily identifiable as fraudulent. These elements should be considered as red flags to anyone entering into an arrangement for a POF account, and discussions should be immediately discontinued with any individual or company that is providing accounts with a sample POF letter that contains these red flags.

Common Red Flags in Bank POF letters Federal Law Enforcement Agencies confirm that bank POF letters will not have:     1. Representations regarding the source of the funds.     2. Representations regarding the availability of the funds.     3. The presence of an official document seal.
