I can’t speak for all other banks or online brokerage firms, but the Credit Union I am a member of and have been for more than 15 years. Once they went online, the use of security tokens and authentication mechanisms were in place to keep its members protected when doing their online banking and I’m glad they do.

I receive those type of emails all the time and have actually received two large checks which I chose not to cash even though I had a daughter who thought I should so I could help her out of a tough stop do to the economy. I’m glad I never got pulled into those money scams.

I used to delete them as spam, but now that I read one one of Brian Krebs e-mails saying to forward quesstionable e-mails to Bobbear: bbctactus at gmail dot com

Thanks Brian the info will be of great use.

Actually, the banks cannot possibly fund all of the losses from stupidity. It is unsecured computers and hackers who go after them who are not your friends.

Hey Brian, I’d love for you to give me Mr. Carrey’s contact info so he can put his action where his mouth is. As a firm that recently got hit and would love to prosecute some of those mules that benefited (as well as those receiving banks that knew in advance that they were mules) we’d love to be holding the hammer instead of being the victim. For the comments made regarding banks don’t care because it isn’t their money, that’s EXACTLY what we found. MOST of the receiver banks would not even cooperate and those that did required a hold harmless agreement to be signed. As one security expert told me, Banks are not your friends. A true statement if there ever was one.

What will it take to make banks and online brokerages start using security tokens and key fobs? Most people would pay for it and I am surprised providers of business interruption policies don’t mandate their insureds use banks that have security tokens. The problem is, no banks seem to provide them as an authentication mechanisms.

The banks need to lose a really big lawsuit. They just do not care right now that all these small businesses are being fleeced. They are complicit. They are negligent and they need to be litigated into oblivion over what is happening.

I found a story about a mule who did go to jail, several years ago. Someone made a lot of money; he lost all his assets and went to jail. He was so ticked off at being taken advantage of that he signed up with another scam. Instead of cashing the fake cashier’s checks they send him, he’s been collecting them as evidence:

Too bad you need a bank account to bait the ones who use bank transfers.
