Beware of Bogus Job

Money Mules are being recruited across the UK. The criminals target students and those on low incomes by offering them quick and easy money. The criminals contact their victims via job adverts in emails, newspapers, websites and chat rooms etc. The jobs are advertised with job titles that hold quite a lot of responsibility, but with no requirement for specialist knowledge, e.g. UK Representative.

The adverts are often poorly worded and often seek people with bank accounts with particular banks or that use an internet payment system. Once recruited the money mule receives stolen money into their bank account. They are then asked by their employer to take the funds out, less a commission, and to send it overseas. Money laundering is a serious crime and those involved often have to pay back thousands of pounds.
