We have received lately indications that Money Mules fraud are again on the rise. That is when you accept an offer to receive and transfer some money on behalf of another company or person, while keeping a commission of it for your “service”. You will be asked to take some payment, and then transfer the bulk of that income into another account, keeping some of it for yourself. This can take many shapes and forms, included pretending it is a payment or extra for a job you may have -or not- done.
Of course, this procedure is an illegal scam and a crime, and if you fall for it and cash in the commission it can have heavy consequences as you are not the victim but an accomplice of the fraud.
