Investigative Tools

Our seasoned investigators can help you to utilize Fraud-Net for detection of current ongoing frauds involving use of counterfeit checks, identity theft and new account fraud.

Utilizing and building on connections with law enforcement entities and prosecutors statewide will aid in the detection, deterrence and apprehension of violators. This, in tandem with our education programs should decrease your chances of being victimized.

Educational Tools

Education is our proactive component to help you become more aware of existing scams and trends. We’ll also help your employees learn to listen to those verbal and nonverbal cues that can make the difference between being scammed and dodging a financial bullet.

Training for frontline employees and customers

We will share success stories that help your employees and customers become empowered and more resistant to the increasing number of scams. We target subjects that are of most interest to you in your area. Topics can include identity theft, counterfeit checks, new account fraud and current scams. We will address your bank’s role upon discovery of an ID theft. You will learn what suspicious acts should be reported and to whom.

Efforts are underway to facilitate communications between law enforcement, prosecutors and banks regarding fraud. This will be accomplished through separate and combined training sessions of all these individuals.

No Hats, No Hoods, No Sunglasses

This program is a preventive measure that has been successful in other states. Many banks in Oklahoma are utilizing this program with great success. We can share the project and ideas for implementation.
