When is it not ok to run an applicant through ChexSystems a second time if I receive an "ID failure" response?
Correct Answer
D. A & C only
Explanation
If an "ID failure" response is received when running an applicant through ChexSystems a second time, it is not okay to do so when the license is entered incorrectly or when the name is spelled wrong. This suggests that the identification information provided is incorrect or does not match the records in ChexSystems, indicating a potential issue with the applicant's identity verification. However, it is still okay to run the applicant through ChexSystems a second time if the Social Security number is entered incorrectly, as this does not directly relate to the applicant's identity verification.
2.
What document(s) should not be accepted for proof of address?
Correct Answer
A. Cable bill
Explanation
A cable bill should not be accepted as proof of address because it does not provide sufficient evidence of residency. Cable bills typically only include the address where the service is being provided, which may not necessarily be the same as the individual's residential address. Therefore, it is not a reliable document to verify someone's address.
3.
What document is not acceptable for identification?
Correct Answer
C. International driver's license
Explanation
An international driver's license is not acceptable for identification because it is specifically issued for the purpose of allowing individuals to drive in foreign countries. While it may contain personal information and a photo, it is not considered a valid form of identification in most situations, particularly for official purposes. Other options listed, such as U.S. Military identification, U.S. Passport, and State issued identification, are generally accepted and recognized forms of identification.

Explanation
If the address on the application does not match the address on ChexSystems or the credit report, it would be considered a red flag. This could indicate that the applicant has provided false information or that there may be discrepancies in their personal information. Further verification may be required to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the applicant's details.

This is the appropriate action to take when encountering a credit freeze on an applicant's ChexSystems report. Contacting the Fraud Group ensures that any potential fraudulent activity is thoroughly investigated before proceeding with opening the account.

What does "Randomized" issuance mean?
Correct Answer
A. The social security numbers are no longer associated with a specific state.

This means that the numbers are assigned in a random manner without any connection to the state in which the individual resides. This change was implemented to enhance security and protect against identity theft.

Correct Answer
A. This may be a possible fraud address and I should review the Qualifile carefully.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Both a & b."

Additionally, the reviewer should also deny the member immediately. Therefore, both options a and b are correct.

Correct Answer

The correct answer is to send an email to the Fraud Group informing them of the suspicious activity. This is the appropriate action to take in this situation because the sudden excessive amount of ATM and cash withdrawals, combined with the presence of a new person claiming to be a home health care worker/friend, raises concerns about potential financial exploitation or fraud.

Correct Answer
C. The applicant has to unfreeze their report with TransUnion. The applicant placed the block so that no credit can be pulled without their authorization and knowledge.
Explanation
A credit freeze is a security measure taken by an individual to prevent unauthorized access to their credit report. By placing a block on their credit report, the applicant ensures that no credit can be pulled without their authorization and knowledge. To unfreeze their report, the applicant needs to contact TransUnion, the credit reporting agency, and request the removal of the block. This measure is often taken to protect against identity theft and fraudulent activity.
13.
The following is not an acceptable form of identification:
Correct Answer
D. Both A and B
Explanation
Both an international driver's license and a credit card with a photo on it are not acceptable forms of identification. This means that if someone presents either of these forms of identification, it will not be considered valid. Military identification, on the other hand, may be an acceptable form of identification depending on the situation. Therefore, the correct answer is that both options A and B are not acceptable forms of identification.
14.
An applicant has a P.O. Box on his driver's license. I should ask the following:
Correct Answer
A. A second form of proof of address showing a residential address.
Explanation
The correct answer is to ask for a second form of proof of address showing a residential address. This is because having a P.O. Box on a driver's license indicates that the applicant may not have a residential address listed on their license. Therefore, it is necessary to ask for another document that can confirm their residential address.

By pulling a copy of the deposit and verifying the validity of the check, you can ensure that the funds are legitimate. Asking the member if a check would be okay can help confirm their intentions and further validate their request. Reviewing the FBI fraud poster and the list of questions can provide additional guidance and help you identify any red flags or signs of fraudulent activity. By performing all three actions, you can take necessary precautions to prevent fraud and protect the member's account.

I should fill out the Monetary Instrument Log when the following occurs:
Correct Answer
D. I complete the log for b & c only.
Explanation
The correct answer is "I complete the log for b & c only" because in scenario b, the member makes a cash deposit of $4000.00 in the morning and later withdraws a check for a car loan. This qualifies as a cash deposit over $10,000.00 followed by a withdrawal, which requires the completion of the Monetary Instrument Log. In scenario c, the member deposits $5000.00 in cash into their personal account, deposits $1000.00 into the business account, and then requests a check from the personal account. This also qualifies as a cash deposit over $10,000.00 followed by a withdrawal, requiring the completion of the log. Scenario a does not meet the criteria for completing the log.

I received a "review" response because there is a credit bureau special message note on Qualifile. I should do the following:
Correct Answer
B. Contact the Fraud Group because they have to review the message on the credit report.
