Attention, foreign residents! Do not sell, lend, or rent out your bank account!

“Returning to your home country? Why not sell your bank account for cash?” “Want to earn easy money just by handing over your passbook and ATM card?” Beware of these offers—you could be exploited by scammers!

Selling, renting out, or carelessly allowing others to use your bank account could lead to it being used to collect money from scams or launder funds. Even if you have not personally scammed anyone, you could still face criminal liability and civil claims for compensation. Don’t pay a heavy price for a small, short-term gain!
