Talk about adding insult to injury.
A bogus Web site is targeting victims of Bernard Madoff's record Ponzi scheme in an apparent identity-theft scam, the Securities Investor Protection Corp warned today.
The site claims that $1.3 billion in Madoff money was recently found hidden in Malaysia, and displays photos of huge stacks of cash allegedly stashed by the mega-crook.
The so-called "International Securities Investor Protection Corporation" urges burned investors to submit claims by filling out an online form and mailing in a copy of "your most recent brokerage account statement."
