Our customer (victim) has given us a name of an individual ("boyfriend") who she has sent funds to as part of a Sweetheart scam. All we have is a first name. Would you consider first name only enough to identify a suspect and file a SAR on the boyfriend with the suspicious amount being greater than $5K, less than $25K?

Is it possible that your victim is holding back some information (maybe embarrassed, or some other reason)?
If she is the victim of a scam, that first name is likely a fake.

If she wired money, I imagine she had more instruction than just a first name.

Does she have texts or e-mails with instructions that she can share with you that might help?
