A guy has asked my hubby if this guy could put £20,000 in my hubbys bank and he will pay us £1000 for using his bank account. Then he will take it out after a few days or one day. He said something about a casino. My hubby said some of his friends are doing it too. What do you think its all about and what should we do?
Re: should we ...?
FRAUD!!!
I would not bother...
But question how long has he known your hubby for that he is willing to trust him with 20k?
I mean What if your hubby decides to keep that money its in His account so His money? What makes this guy think that your hubby will return it back?
Casino money is haram!
But if you are still going to go a head and do it. I would try to find what casino it came from hopefully there is a way to do it].
People will be suspicious as well - how come a Pakistani guy has 20k in his account over night..... why cant he put little by little money in his bank account...
Re: should we ...?
Just say NO.
You don't need to know where he got the money from as it's none of your buisness, don't make it your buisness either, it sounds well dodgy.
Re: should we ...?
Sounds dogdy as MM said. I would stay out of it tabassum. He could keep the money under the mattress for a few days too right? Why does it need to go through someone bank account? You probably don't want to get involved in fishy monetary transactions with a guy who is in to gambling.
Re: should we ...?
it sounds a little sketchy, i'd probably stay out of it.
Re: should we ...?
sounds like a money laundering scam.......if you are muslim, you should especially stay away from this, not only because it's haram but also because they will be looking at people like you especially.
Re: should we ...?
There are several issues with this proposal.
He is just trying to launder money and you/your husband will be aiding and abetting that. This is illegal.
If tax authorities audit your tax returns, they want to see bank statements, and will want to know the source of these deposits. If you can't explain the source, then there are potentially huge tax implications.
There is no such concept as using someone else's bank account for a few days. Your bank account information is privileged information and should not be shared with anyone, and if shared the other person can potentially clean up your bank account.
£1000 for a few days of putting money in your account is way too easy. And what they say about easy money is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Re: should we ...?
No no no no no no no
DONOT DO THIS!
Re: should we ...?
Haha. F-r-a-u-d.

Re: should we ...?
Do not do it. You will get yourself into something you will regret.
Re: should we ...?
Don't do it.
Re: should we ...?
Thanks for the input. I will tell him not to go ahead with it. Normally I wouldnt even have given it a seconds thought but were very desperate at the moment-but not that desperate!!
