SAR for fake SSN? - 10/31/11 07:20 PM
Customer opens account in 2009 with SSN printed on SS Card. Last month customer attempts international wire and wire dept questions validity of number (lots of repeated digits in number and it looks funny) An online SSN validator indicated that number has never been issued. Wire is not sent. Customer does not provide verification of SSN as requested but closes account. My question.... I feel I should file a SAR because of the fraudulent number used to open the account... but I have no idea what dollar amount to include as suspicious. The wire itself was not necessarily suspicious, the branch is aware that he has family in that country. Do I include every deposit ever made? Can I just leave the dollar amount blank? Or should I not even file a SAR at all? I just can't seem to zero in on this one. Any suggestions?
