Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

This information can be found in the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) study guide, 6th edition, under the section on Unusual Customer Identification Scenarios. The guide explains that two indicators that should be included in awareness training for unusual customer identification scenarios are:

A . The customer opens the account in the name of a family member who begins making large deposits.

This is an indicator of potential structuring, where a customer may be attempting to avoid triggering reporting thresholds by depositing funds in smaller amounts over time. It is important for staff to be aware of this scenario and to monitor accounts for potential suspicious activity.

B . The customer's name and home address cannot be verified.

This is an indicator of potential identity theft or other fraudulent activity. If a customer's identifying information cannot be verified, it is important for staff to conduct additional due diligence to ensure that the customer is legitimate and that the account is not being used for illicit purposes.

Definitely A and B, those are red flags.

I recall that option D was mentioned in our training as a common indicator of unusual activity. So maybe B and D?

I feel like C is definitely one of the answers since mismatched IP addresses can indicate fraud. But I'm torn between A and E for the second one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about large deposits being suspicious. Maybe A and D?

I think options B and C might be the right indicators. We discussed how unverified information can be a red flag in our last practice session.

I've got a good strategy for this. I'll look for the indicators that suggest potential fraud or suspicious activity, like the unverified information and the request for payment to a third party.

I'm a bit confused by this question. There are a lot of options, and I'm not sure which two are the most important ones to focus on. I'll need to re-read the question and think it through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. The customer opening an account in someone else's name and the inability to verify the customer's information seem like the two key indicators to select.

Hmm, I'm not sure which two indicators are the right ones. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about which ones are most relevant.

B and D make the most sense to me. Though I have to admit, the idea of someone trying to exchange small bills for large ones is kind of funny. Must be trying to pull off some sort of heist!

Haha, yeah, the small bills for large bills exchange does sound suspicious!

If the customer's name and address cannot be verified, or if they request payment to a third party, it could be a red flag for money laundering.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question was trying to trick us with those weird bill exchange options (E). Nice try, but I'm sticking with B and D!
