What is MT760/MT799 Fraud?
MT760 and MT799 frauds involve scams related to bank instruments, particularly Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs) and Bank Guarantees (BGs). Fraudsters exploit these financial instruments by offering fake or unauthorized transactions, promising large financial gains, or luring businesses into fraudulent investment deals.
MT760 is a SWIFT message type used for blocking funds or securing a financial guarantee, while MT799 is a pre-advice message often used for initial communication between banks. Scammers take advantage of the complexity of these transactions, misleading investors and businesses into transferring funds for non-existent instruments.
How Scammers Exploit MT760 & MT799 Transactions
Fraudsters use sophisticated schemes to target businesses, investors, and individuals looking for financial guarantees or project funding. Common scam tactics include:
Fake Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs) & Bank Guarantees (BGs) – Scammers promise access to high-value bank instruments, but victims receive worthless or forged documents.
Advance Fee Fraud – Fraudsters require an upfront payment for processing fees, due diligence, or “insurance,” only to disappear once the money is sent.
Bogus MT760 Transactions – Victims are tricked into believing that funds are blocked or secured in their favor, when in reality, no legitimate transaction takes place.
False MT799 Pre-Advice Messages – Scammers create fake SWIFT messages to make victims believe that a bank is preparing to issue a financial instrument.
Investment & Trading Scams – Fraudulent companies claim they can leverage SBLCs or BGs for high returns, but once victims invest, the scammers vanish.
