Types Of Financial Fraud

In New Jersey, examples of prohibited financial fraud include the following:

• Ponzi schemes, which are investment vehicles that purport to pay relatively high rates of return; instead, little or no money is actually invested and new investments are simply used to pay off prior investors
• Pyramid schemes, where individuals are promised large profits based largely on recruiting others to join the program, rather than from the actual sale of goods or services, although some schemes do engage in some legitimate sales
• Credit/debit card fraud, where unauthorized purchases are made on an individual’s card account
• Counterfeiting, including currency or credit/debit cards
• Identity fraud, where an individual’s personal information is used to withdraw money from their accounts or open new financial accounts or make purchases
• Phishing, where individuals receive purportedly official communications that ask them to divulge access information for their financial accounts
• Skimming, or the stealing of card information during a legitimate transaction
• Advance fee schemes, where an individual is asked to pay fees up front (such as a “finder’s fee” or administration fee) in exchange for assistance with securing work, loans, contracts, etc.
• Funds transfer schemes, where a person is asked to receive funds into their account and then transfer the funds onward to another account; the only “real” funds are those of the scheme target, which are usually quickly withdrawn from the account they are sent to 

Generally, when financial fraud is committed, a person is asked to send financial account details, which allows someone to access their account. In other situations, a person may be asked to send money in exchange for goods or services that ultimately are not provided or are worth less than the funds that were sent.
