$30K+

“$30K+ in fraudulent checks stopped from clearing in 6 months”

As published on unit21.ai. Captured by usedby on Oct 7, 2026.

What happened

BOM Bank uses Unit21's Dark Web Monitoring to detect leaked checks carrying variations of its name and logo being sold on dark web marketplaces. When an alert arrives, the fraud team contacts the customer, restricts the account, and moves them to a new account so the stolen check is returned unpaid.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Unit21 and BOM Bank, not ours.

Within six months, Dark Web Monitoring had stopped more than $30,000 in fraudulent checks, recovering BOM’s full investment in Unit21 and then some.

In 6 months alone, we stopped over $30k worth of fraudulent checks from coming into our bank. Dark Web Monitoring quickly paid for itself.
