BILL NUMBER: S166

SPONSOR: GIANARIS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the banking law, in relation to requiring transmitters
of money to provide a certain warning to consumers

 
PURPOSE:

This bill would require a transmitter of money to provide a warning
about potential fraud to consumers.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the banking law by adding a new Section 652-c, requir-
ing a person engaged in the business of receiving money for transmission
or transmitting money to clearly and prominently warn the consumers
about potential fraud prior to completing the transfer.

EXISTING LAW:

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Consumer fraud hurts everyone regardless of age. The elderly however,
are especially vulnerable to scams that call for the transferring of
money. People receive calls or emails informing them that they won the
lottery, that they have been offered a great deal, or that they can
apply for a credit card if they simply transfer funds to an unspecified
address. People have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars when they
electronically transfer funds to individuals they do not know. This bill
would require a financial institution to alert their customers to the
dangers of consumer fraud. It would help New Yorkers make better, more
informed decisions before participating in risky money transfers.
