I'm curious what international wire fraud is, and how someone accomplishes it?
<|assistant|>
International wire fraud is a form of financial crime in which money is fraudulently obtained from an individual or business using deceptive tactics through electronic transfers, such as wiring money overseas. Common practices of international wire fraud include phishing emails claiming to be from an legitimate business or authority figure, impersonation scams such as 'romance scams', and malware attacks on banking or e-commerce websites. Wire fraud victims may lose thousands or even millions of dollars depending on the magnitude of the scam. Wire fraudsters use various methods to deceive victims, such as requesting a wire transfer to a bank account or payment to an alternative account before any work has been done, soliciting the victim to keep the transaction confidential, or falsely claiming an emergency situation that needs to be addressed quickly.
