十年前到美國遊學時到美國銀行開了一個帳戶, 不過時間太久忘了是否有去結清,但多年來未曾收過銀行任何信件, 這幾天在信箱垃圾信件收到一封信,寄件人是美國的SEC,內容如下： The Securities and Exchange Commission hereby issue this SEC Notice to provide filing obligation to you as an individual with signature authority over Finan cial Account in the United States, or any of his territories. If you have a fi nancial interest in or signature authority over a foreign financial account, i ncluding a bank account,certificate of deposit, brokerage account, mutual fund , trust,insurance or other type of foreign financial account, the Bank Secrec y Act require you to report the account to the Security and Exchange Commissio n by filing FORM LDCF 022.3, Report of Foreign owned Bank and Financial Accoun ts in the USA. This is required because foreign financial institutions may not be subject to the same reporting requirements as domestic financial institutions. This is a tool to help the government identify persons who may be using foreign financia l accounts to circumvent the law. Investigators use this information to help i dentify or trace funds used for illicit purposes or to identify unreported inc ome maintained or generated abroad. A foreigner who holds financial account in the United States must have a reporting obligation even if the account produc es no taxable income. The Social Security number and international passport in formation page will be used as a means to identify the individual who files th e report. Disclosure of this information is mandatory. Civil and criminal penalties, inc luding in most circumstances confiscation of such account,a fine of not more t han $500,000 and imprisonment of not more than five years, are provided for fa ilure to file a report, supply information, and for filing a false or fraudule nt report. To this end, you are to authenticate the following by completing the attached FORM LDCF 022.3, and return with a copy of your international passport informa tion page by Fax +1-800-206-4972 or email, as soon as possible. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us update our records. This will hel p prevent any form of embarrassment at any foreign port of entry. Sincerely Samantha Brown 不知是否有人有收過相同的信,因為不知信件內容是否屬實, 所以詢問是否有人有相關處理經驗,謝謝。 --
