$100,000 Drained From Bank Accounts At Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Other US Banks in One US County, Say Police – Here’s How

Authorities just issued a new warning about a bank scam that’s hitting accounts across the US. Police outside Washington, D.C. say customers at Wells Fargo, Bank of America, PNC and other US banks living have lost approximately $100,000 to bank impostor scams this year alone. That’s in just one corner of the US – Prince George’s County, Maryland. Thieves are impersonating major lenders, sending texts about suspicious account activity to trick victims into replying or calling a fake number, reports NBC4 Washington. Victims are then instructed to withdraw money and deposit it into ATMs, or gift cards to “secure” their accounts. Police advise people to call their bank directly using the number on their card, visiting a branch in person and hang up if anyone urges you to move money. The FTC says such scams are on the rise, triggering $470 million in losses last year alone, commonly involving fake package deliveries, job offers and wrong number schemes. That number is five times higher than what was reported in 2020, although the number of overall reports declined. The FTC recommends forwarding suspicious texts to 7726 to report them.

US Crypto Exchange Kraken Expands to Stocks, ETFs and FX Perpetual Futures

The San Francisco-based crypto exchange Kraken expanded its trading services this week to stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and forex (FX) perpetual futures. On Monday, the exchange announced that customers in New Jersey, Connecticut, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Idaho, Iowa, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Alabama and the District of Columbia could now trade 11,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs. Kraken notes those states represent the start of a “phased national rollout” for equities trading, with plans to expand to other states and then international markets like the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia. Then on Friday, the exchange announced it was launching FX perpetual futures on Kraken Derivatives. The first two offerings to launch are EUR/USD and GBP/USD, both with up to 20x leverage. Kraken notes that it already has a sizable presence in the FX spot market, with the exchange’s customers trading $5.4 billion in that sector this year so far, including $3.5 billion concentrated in the EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs. Kraken’s new expansions come amid reports that the exchange is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) in the first quarter of 2026. Kraken also recently cleared some regulatory turbulence, announcing last month that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had agreed “in principle” to dismiss its lawsuit against the firm. The regulator charged the exchange in 2023 with operating its crypto trading platform as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency.
