Type of scam where criminals persuade individuals to receive, transfer, or move money on their behalf, often using their personal bank accounts. The funds are usually linked to fraud or other criminal activities, and victims may be unaware they are participating in illegal activity.
Tip
Never allow others to use your bank account to move money, even if the request comes from someone you trust or a supposed employer. Be cautious of unsolicited job offers involving money transfers or “payment processing.” Legitimate businesses do not ask individuals to move funds through personal accounts. If you are asked to act quickly or keep the transaction confidential, stop and verify before proceeding.
