Money Trap

A money mule is someone who receives or transfers money on behalf of another person.

Sometimes people knowingly agree to do this. Often, they don’t realise they are being recruited by criminals until it’s too late.

Money mule activity is commonly linked to fraud, scams and organised crime.

You may be told:

• It’s a simple job
• It’s an easy way to earn money
• You’re helping a business process payments
• You will be paid a commission for each transfer

These are common recruitment tactics.
