Money transfer fraud or wire transfer fraud both occur when scammers convince consumers to wire them money. Here are warning signs of money transfer fraud:

• Someone you don’t know asks you to wire money.

• Someone asks you to deposit a check and send them back a portion of the money.

• Someone pretends to be a friend or relative and calls in a crisis, asking you to wire money right away.

• Someone tells you you've won a prize or contest that you don't remember entering, and asks you to wire money to pay fees, taxes or customs.
