I confess that I want to know how people get away with bank account fraud type activities. I'm no criminal myself but I really don't get it or how it works and the internet is no help.

Here's what got me curious.. I'm watching "Code Wars: America's Cyber Threat" on CNBC Its talking a lot about hacking and stuff irrelevant to my question, but in one section of the documentary its talking about online cyber crime such as identity theft and how someone stole 500,000 from someone else's bank account.

Here's what I don't get.. how do these people go about transferring money to some other bank account and withdraw it without getting caught? I hear this stuff happens daily.. I mean don't you need like an ID and other information to even make a fake bank? It confuses me how people get in someone else's bank, transfer money, then withdraw it. I tried to google how it really works but no answers.. maybe someone here will know?

alot of the information is falsified, basically. use a P.O. Box, and fake names for the dummy bakn account. or even use a fake address that u can check daily.even if it's not the right address the people at the address will jus deposit mail back into the mailslot for the mailman(in which case you come take your mail).

also I guess alot of foreign banks are happy to keep everything low key. they make low interest and in exchange keep ur bank alll secret like. again when wiring funds you would use false information and just make sure the money acctually reaches it's destination.

the real problem is hacking into someone else's bank information. that's where things like computer viruses that harvest information or credit card scams come in and that's what is actually the daily part. it happens all the time. most people just try to use the card in low increments and have a little spending spree. some save the information to sell to someone else. others wait with it for a decent time to use it.
