Method 1:
a)Scammer phishes victim's account info or buys stolen account (or credit card) info.
b)scammer logs into victim's account (or credit card) and transfers money into your bank account.
c)When you receive money, you withdraw and send to scammer via WU.
d)Scammer picks up money with fake ID
e)victim discovers the theft, and contacts the authorities.
f) The police trace the money to you.
g) The police cannot trace the original scammers, who used all fake information, but you can still be arrested as an accomplice.
Method 2
a)scammer places fake ad for an apartment for rent or item for sale. In reality scammer has nothing to offer.
b)scammer convinces renter/buyer to pay by bank transfer--into your account.
c)When you receive money, you withdraw and send to scammer via WU.
d)Scammer picks up money with fake ID
e)victim discovers there is no apartment/item/etc. and contacts police.
f) The police trace the money to you.
g) The police cannot trace the original scammers, who used all fake information, but you can still be arrested as an accomplice.
One more thing when they transfer the money to my bank account,
There most be an address where they send the money from.
1. company
2. bank name
3. person name who send the money.
4. transfer ID etc.
Police can trace them from where the money send from.
Are they use fake ID to send the money?
How they can send cash to bank account without sign up latter.
And without passport or ID ?
