Hair Show Bait: Trying to Get Something for Nothing
A financial fraud case on the FBI's site targeted young women in shopping malls, recruiting them to participate in an upcoming hair show, offering to pay them for their services, but requiring their debit card numbers to access their accounts. Checks would be deposited, then cash immediately withdrawn before the bank realized the fraud. If the women became skeptical, the scammers had a Plan B that was even worse. [9/1/15]
