Yusuf and Matthis are charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, two counts of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering.

 

“These scammers target victims by convincing them to transfer money to bank accounts they control. Often the scheme is facilitated by impersonating a key employee or business partner. Employees of the business think they are responding to a request from a company leader and transfer the funds to what turns out to be a shell bank account,” Huber said. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Utah and our local and federal partners will continue to focus on this cyber-enabled financial fraud,” Huber said.

 

“Perpetrators of business email compromise schemes manipulate and exploit trusting individuals who believe they are conducting legitimate business. The result can be devastating not only financially but emotionally. The sophistication and evolving nature of these scams mean businesses should have increased awareness and prevention efforts in place. If you’ve believe you’ve fallen victim to a BEC scam, contact your financial institution and local FBI immediately and file a complaint with www.ic3.gov,” Eric Barnhart, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office said.
