Real Banking Words, Fake Transaction

Learn why correct terminology can still be used inside a false story.

The trick

Fraudsters often use real words such as SWIFT, MT760, UCP600, ISP98, RMA, blocked funds, collateral and monetisation to make a proposal sound institutional.

Separate facts

Verify the bank, officer, instrument, transaction purpose, account/funds claim and financing agreement independently. One true element does not prove the rest.

Authentic instrument ≠ authentic transaction

Even a genuine instrument can be used in a separate misleading proposal about what a financier will do with it.

MyGreed risk labels

MyGreed uses Normal, Needs clarification, High-risk feature and Known fraud pattern. It does not promise to declare a transaction “100% safe.”

Source / standards noteA warning sign is not proof of fraud. Verify independently and obtain professional advice before acting on a material transaction.
