False Alerts: Fraudulent Notices on Released Funds Allegedly from the OCC
Consumers are receiving fraudulent correspondence posing as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), involving fictitious inheritance or beneficiary payouts, leading to identity theft and financial loss. Variations of the scam include requests for personal information and fees, with victims urged not to respond and to report incidents to appropriate authorities such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FTC, and National Consumers League.
