I often see the subject of CTRs and SARs discussed in our sub, but rarely see them described 100% accurately.
So what are they?
The BSA or Bank Secrecy Act requires commercial banks and other cash businesses to report certain transactions and circumstances to FINCEN or the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to help fight money laundering.
A CTR is a report that must be filed anytime a customer has more than $10,000 in cash transactions within one banking day. The report details name, drivers license info, SS# and itemized details of the transactions in question. The cash will be released, but not without getting reported to FINCEN. A CTR can be triggered in a few ways. For example:
-
One single cash deposit of $10,000.01 or more.
-
One single cash withdrawal of $10,000.01 or more.
-
One cash deposit in the morning of $5,000 and one cash deposit of $5,000.01 in the afternoon.
-
One cash deposit of $5,000 in the morning and one cash withdrawal of $5,000.01 in the afternoon.
Point being, any combined cash in or out totaling more than $10,000 in a day will trigger a CTR. Keep in mind, banks are mandated to do this by law. It is not by choice.
Next is the SAR or Suspicious Activity Report. Its exactly what the name says. If a teller or banker witnesses something they could interpret as "suspicious" then they are mandated to report the circumstances to FINCEN. Here is a great example:
Customer comes in and asks for a $11,000 cash withdrawal. The teller says "sure, but Ill have to file a CTR." The customer then says, "oh ok, then ill just withdraw $9,000." This is actually called "structuring" and will absolutely trigger a SAR. The customer is clearly trying to avoid being reported.
Tips to avoid a CTR or SAR:
-
Know the CTR limits and keep your daily cash transactions at $10,000 or less.
-
Know that CTRs and SARs also apply to casinos, cardrooms, car dealerships, bullion dealers, your LCS and other cash businesses.
-
Act confidently. Banks like to get involved in a customers transactions if they think that the customer is either doing something illegal or is getting scammed.
-
Be respectful to your tellers and bankers. A SAR is very subjective and is totally dependent on the tellers interpretation of the situation.
-
If the teller or banker starts asking you questions about why youre doing what youre doing then answer them respectfully and honestly as possible. This doesnt mean tell them everything, but sarcastically saying the cash is

Please comment in the following format:
What do you suspect to be the issue?

Additional information:
Why YSK: There is currently text bot sending very convincing texts claiming to be Venmo's fraud service. They ask you to follow a link that looks like it's Venmo's and sign in. The link uses "venmo" as its third level domain so it appears legit, but the second level domain is something else meaning any sign in information is NOT going to venmo, but a scammer who will then access and drain your account.
Venmo will not send you texts asking you to sign in. NO BANK WILL. Instead, any legitimate fraud alert will ask you to sign in to their app/website without providing the link. This scam exists solely to trick people into "logging in" on the fake website and stealing your credentials.
Do not fall for this scam. Report it if you happen to get this specific text, and remember NEVER to sign in on any links delivered to you (unrequested).
Also, remember that third level domains have no relation to the company. All websites follow the {xxxx}.{yyyyy}.{zzzzz} format. {yyyyy} tells you the domain (in the sense most people think about it). {xxxxx} tells you where in the domain to look. Therefore {Signup}.{Google}.{com} is Google but {Google}.{Signup}.{com} is someone called "Signup" pretending to be google.
There are certain users on here creating multiple accounts to either jack up prices or build up karma illegitimately. It wasn't difficult to find out as they have listed having the same psn under different accounts. I have looked at further past posts and they have done it before. Also have suspicions about some other users with high karma who many be involved. Need to report it. Thanks

>###PFC internal security reports suspicious activity at border as Xinjiang settlement breaks down
>____
>HANOI (Reuters) - PFC internal security forces have reported an uptick in suspicious activity at the Karakum border with Xinjiang as attempts at reaching a settlement in the region break down. NGOs that have been able to maintain contact with local sources in Xinjiang report that Uyghur groups were outraged by the meager $30,000 dollar stimulus offered to reeducation camp survivors in exchange for brushing the entire Xinjiang Genocide under the rug. Negotiations to allow limited state control over Islam have also reportedly backfired, as unrest in the region continues, and authorities in Beijing continue to have little control in regional affairs. Sources in the MSS have refused to comment on whether activity at the border is a product of hostile state action or simply an inevitable result of the ongoing unrest, but many analysts believe that there is simply no way to tell under the circumstances.

I have had 3 separate vehicles loitering in front of my house for the past few nights around 1-3am. They just pull up and park outside my house in the middle of the night. How do I report this? Also, any tips for safety?
