Beware of Fictitious Regulatory Notification Scams
Scammers are acting as senior officials of the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) to try and steal funds from consumers by tricking them into providing personal information, including Social Security number and bank account information.
Typically, victims are initially contacted by email, Google Chat, or the US Postal Service, stating that funds are being withheld by the OCC, and are asked to provide general information, such as their name, address, and phone number.
Follow-up communication often includes requests for information, including bank account numbers, Social Security number, driver’s license number, and passport information. Victims are later told they need to pay a variety of fees in order to receive the funds being withheld, including currency conversion and attorney fees.
Any communication claiming that the OCC is withholding funds is fraudulent, and recipients should not respond. As a reminder from the OCC, the agency does not participate in the transfer of funds for, or on behalf of, individuals, business enterprises, or government entities.
For additional information regarding other types of financial fraud, please visit the OCC's Fraud Resource page, which can also be found by visiting OCC.gov
