THE BANK EXAMINER
A man calls you and identifies himself as a bank examiner trying to trap a "dishonest employee". He cleverly finds out the name of your bank and your account number. He asks you to withdraw your money from your account, and comes by to "mark" the money, thanking you for your help and good citizenship. He gives you a phony receipt and tells you the money will be redeposit in your account when they've tracked down the "dishonest employee." Several days later, when you still have not heard from him, you call your bank only to discover that you've been swindled.
TIP: Law enforcement agencies and bank personnel never ask people to withdraw money. In fact, financial institutions never involve their customers in investigations.
