Selling phoney bank letters of credit at discount prices by telling victim-investors that they will be offered a $10-million guaranteed bank note for $8 million. Since many are small-time investors, they are told their stake, even a few hundred dollars, will be pooled with that of others. They are told the paper can be cashed at full value at the bank, usually offshore, at a specified later date, or traded like a stock or bond to other investors. Then they are made to sign a confidentiality agreement. 1, record 1, English, - prime%20bank%20instrument%20fraud
