he number of fraudsters offering fake bank loans and/or credits online, on social media networks such as Facebook or by email has increased considerably. These so-called loans and/or offers of credit are often made at very attractive rates by fraudsters posing as private individuals or those claiming to operate on behalf of large French banks.
It appears that some fraudsters are now creating fake internet sites which use the Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole CIB) trademark or those of other entities within the Crédit Agricole Group.
Additionally, these fraudsters are often using the identity of employees of the banks in order to give more credibility to their messages. Some loans or offers of credit therefore appear to be made by so-called employees or managers of the Crédit Agricole Group.
In the context of this fraud, any targeted person is “eligible” for these loans and/or offers of credit without any checks or controls. Depending on the situation, the targeted person may be invited to contact the fraudster by email or by phone. The goal of the fraudster is to be paid a fee for the so-called set up of the application.
These fees (application fees, notary costs, legal fees, release fees, court fees, etc…) are payable upfront prior to the release of the funds. The fee usually has to be deposited into a money transfer company. Once the payment is made, the funds are never released and the fees which have been advanced are lost.
The fraudster may also attempt to trick you into providing your personal information or documents containing personal data under the guise of creating the so-called loan and/or credit application. Be warned, fraudsters may reuse this information for future illegal activities.
Crédit Agricole CIB is a corporate and investment bank and does not offer any loans or credit to individuals.
As a result, be very alert to these fake offers of loans and/or offers of credit distributed on social networks and via e-mail which claim to be coming from Crédit Agricole CIB.

Prime bank guarantee fraud involves a bogus investment scheme promising high returns in a short space of time by buying bank guarantees from ‘prime’ banks.
Fraudsters will invite you to join a scheme that they claim will make you rich quickly through bank guarantees. They tell you they can buy the bank guarantees at a discount and sell them shortly afterwards at an enormous premium. By investing a large sum in their scheme, you’ll make a big profit. However, once you part with your money, it will disappear – along with the investment company.
The fraudsters will tell you that you’ll be part of a group of extremely rich investors.
They may tell you not to seek professional advice because the information is reserved only for those taking part in the programme, and the scheme is by invitation only.
The fraudsters may also say that you could be thrown out of the scheme and taken to court if you seek independent advice.
You might even be informed that the well-known banks listed on the documents can’t discuss the deal with you unless you are a main investor.
The fraudsters will try to make the scheme appear legal by giving you documents that appear complex, sophisticated and official. They may falsely tell you that all your funds will be secured by a letter of credit, a bank-endorsed guarantee or another guaranteed certificate supported by the world’s major banks. Or they may tell you that the scheme is risk-free or sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Are you a victim of prime bank guarantee fraud?
- You’ve received, or accepted, an invitation to join a scheme based on investing in bank guarantees.
- You’ve bought bank guarantees at a discount, believing they were low risk.
- You’ve been told that, if you seek independent advice, you’ll be ejected from scheme.
- You’ve parted with money and are no longer able to make contact with the investment company.
- You’ve received documents that appear official and complex, but are unintelligible.
- You’ve tried to sell on the bank guarantees at a premium.
What should you do if you’re a victim of prime bank guarantee fraud?
- If you think you have been a victim of a prime bank guarantee fraud:
- report it to Action Fraud
- contact the Financial Services Authority.
Protect yourself against prime bank guarantee fraud
- Although foreign banks do use bank guarantees they are never sold or traded, so don’t trust any scheme based on these.
- There is no such thing as a high return investment that is risk free.
- If something seems too good to be true, then it usually is.
- Always make sure you fully understand how the investment works. Challenge what you’re told; investigate the company and its claims. Is it registered in the country where it claims to be based? Who are the directors? How exactly does the investment company claim to make its money? Can you withdraw your money easily and quickly?
- Make sure that all papers are checked by an independent financial advisor, or an accountant. Take legal papers to a lawyer before signing them.
- Don’t be pressured into signing a contract at a presentation.
- Make sure you know the legal and tax rules associated with offshore investments.
- Think very carefully before investing any of your money. Make sure you are 100% certain the company is legitimate.
If fraud has been committed, report it to Action Fraud.
