Bank Examiner Scheme
The targeted victim, usually an elderly person, receives a phone call from a scammer posing as a bank examiner or police officer who states that help is needed to catch a dishonest teller. The call may even be a bit intimidating depending on the target's response. The victim is asked to withdraw a large sum of money in cash, often $10,000. or more, and carry it to a 'bank examiner' or 'detective' or other 'official', waiting outside the bank. The victim is reassured the money will be re-deposited in the victim's account, but unfortunately the funds are only deposited into the scam group's pockets. This is a very common scam, and any phone call asking for the withdrawal of funds should be viewed with suspicion and reported to the police immediately.
