NEW YORK — Internet con artists appear to be targeting victims of Bernard Madoff.
The Securities Investor Protection Corp. warned Tuesday that someone had set up a bogus website in an attempt to trick Madoff victims into turning over confidential financial information.
The site mimics the legitimate one set up by the agency and purports to belong to the International Securities Investor Protection Corp. It offers victims a chance to apply for $1.3 billion in cash.
The SIPC said it is trying to have the site shut down.
