**The FBI is out with a new warning that criminals may try to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic through a tempting scheme.
It starts off as a harmless enough request. You receive an email, maybe through an online job site or a dating website. Provide your bank account information and allow money transfers to flow through your account. You move the money for someone, who pays you a little cash for your trouble or lures you with the potential of a romantic relationship.
Sounds easy, even profitable, right?
Wrong. Acting as a so-called money mule may land you in prison and ruin you financially.
The FBI says scam artists are taking advantage of the coronavirus outbreak to launder ill-gotten gains by accessing your personal and financial information and then using you to move the money for them.
Agents say criminals persuade other people, the money mules, to move illicit money for them often through fund transfers or even the physical movement of cash.**
AH HA sounds like Pakistani thought of this a Longtime ago…:D…
