|
| Criminals sometimes invoke the name
of the Federal Reserve to deceive the public. The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, in conjunction with law enforcement authorities,
investigates complaints of fraud using its name. |

IN FOCUS |
|
| Beware of scam artists claiming to be Federal Reserve "security
department" personnel seeking "account" information. Scam artists
send e-mail messages, asking targets to visit a website to confirm
account information. The point of the scam is to get enough
personal information to impersonate the targets. |
