Same old 'money mule' job proposition that will earn you nothing but a visit from the police, a frozen bank account, losing your money and potentially worse.

I won't bother reproducing the FAQ's which are the same as all the others, which in itself gives away that it's merely a fraudulent 'doppelganger' that knows will get shut down in days.

Where do I begin ?

Firstly - your PERSONAL account with your bank is not for operation of any business transactions or the transmission of third party payments. The website is unintentionally correct in stating that your arrangement then causes you to become an independent contractor and your account should then become a business account. If you don't notify your bank of this arrangement, you are breaking the terms of your contract with the bank. Your PERSONAL account is not for the operation of any business transactions.

If you notify the bank, they will change your account to a business tariff which attracts a very different scale of charges that you would have to negotiate with a business manager, who would not allow you to use your account for this purpose - acting as a 'money mule' for illegal stolen funds.

The risk is, that by operating your account outside the terms of your agreement with the bank and failing to notify them, they will show you no mercy when the police trace the stolen funds going through your account, as they inevitably will, very quickly. Reading the terms you'll note that the insistence of payment turnaround within 24 hours suggests that the criminal believes this arrangement will only likely last for one payment, two perhaps, but the the more payments you send, the more you are at risk.

Next.

YOU MUST NEVER EVER GIVE ANY THIRD PARTY ACCESS OF ANY SORT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT - NOT EVEN READ ONLY ACCESS.

THERE IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR THIS. VERIFY THIS WITH YOUR BANK OR THE POLICE.


I'll be taking full copies of this website for future reference.

No doubt the police will be interested in this website and how it came in to being. A report will be submitted to the police at the earliest opportunity.

The webpages have been saved and recorded as evidence.

What is a money mule?

'Money mule’ is a term used to describe someone who is recruited by fraudsters needing to launder funds that they have obtained illegally. Money mules are often recruited through scams that advertise high-paying job opportunities, often with the ability to work from home.

After being recruited by the fraudsters, money mules receive funds into their accounts and then withdraw the money and send it overseas using a wire transfer service, minus a certain commission payment.

Money mule adverts or offers can take a variety of different forms and they may even copy a genuine company’s web site and register a similar web address to add authenticity to the scam.


The site builder is slowing down I suspect. I'll need to find something to do online waiting for him to catch up. :wink:

Making them non-Googlable does help.

Welcome to Scamwarners dazdaman2010.

Would you please copy and paste details of any communications you've received dazdaman2010 to the forum (removing your personal details - name and e-mail address) as it will help other people pick it up on Google and allow us to know of any new websites they've set up.

One of our colleagues has taken on the task of reporting all these scam websites, and it's a massive undertaking with possibly 100 domains involved, but it will reduce the effectiveness of the scam doing it.

We've spoken to one victim and the consequences for anyone falling for it are horrendous.

Spotting it for what it is has saved yourself from getting involved in a nightmare and wasting your time.

They must be getting desperate if they're paying imaginary bonuses too. :shock:

It's a welcome indication that they're not getting the response they want and that they're taking their offer in to the realms of fantasy.

No one pays for nothing - and what they want is your bank account.

Any money you receive and pay out will effectively be your own as the banks have stated they will recover any stolen funds from you. They will also close your account and submit a report to CIFAS which will effectively make it virtually impossible to open another bank account. You will then find getting a job very difficult and even have problems receiving state benefits. As there is the risk of a prison sentence of up to 10 years if the banks or police decide to prosecute, losing your account sounds like the easy option, but the harm that does to you will only be realised when you apply for jobs in the future.

They can afford to be generous - it's your money they're paying you. Inevitably you will only ever make one payment before the police come calling, which is why this offer has to be spammed on such a massive scale.
