The International Herald Tribune said Wednesday that a U.S. bank tapped to ease the transfer of North Korean funds from a Macao bank has been allegedly linked to telemarketing fraud.

According to the Paris-based newspaper, the Wachovia Bank in 2006 was accused by federal prosecutors in Philadelphia of accepting unsigned checks that resulted in stealing funds from elderly Americans.

The bank said in a statement that it was taking immediate action to review all policies and procedures related to the matter.
