Money Laundering - Not A Appropriate Work From Home Profession Alternative

Read More About Home Business

You might have seen, and potentially been attracted in, emails that offer 'easy' employment. It all feels very easy. 2 or 3 transactions per week and all expenses covered. It does not say what the remuneration is, usually around 10% of the amount handled. Well, what could be so wrong?

Here is the set-up, as you would see it. They send to your bank account a sum of money, say £1000. You get to keep 10% (amazing - £100) and walk down to your nearest payment office, having withdrawn the rest of the money on the way and send the 90% to the next person.

So what is the hook? Well, let's look either side. It is not that, as made out, the business cannot accept the payments. If it was, they would set up above-board accounts to do this with a solicitor or someone they can trust. They would not approach people via an email.

It is true that the corporation involved cannot accept the money directly. That is for the reason that the money started off in some poor unsuspecting suspect's PayPal account or Bank Account and their details have possibly been phished. If they sent the cash directly to their own account, the police force would be right on their tail and be able to return it.

So that is where you come in - they transmit the money to you and you transmit it to them, or maybe to another link in the chain who then sends it on.

Is this a fantastic problem for you? Well yes. As soon as the account holder notices their missing £1000, they are going to report it and the police force will get drawn in. They will see it has vanished to your account and close your bank account whilst they prepare to prosecute you in order to get the £1000 back off you. But you only kept back £100. It is up to you, consequently, to pay out of your pocket the £900 you passed on.

Maybe if you co-operate the police might get some of that cash off the next level, but if you have sent it away, that may possibly be thorny. In all probability, instead of seeing an easy £100 profit, you are seeing a hard £900 loss.

Really, the scam is robbing the cash from you in due course. And not only are you left out of pocket, but if the police do prosecute you, you are also left with a criminal conviction on your record. A conviction for money laundering just might not help your future career prospects, nor opening a new bank account.

If job seems too easy to be true, it is because it most without doubt is. Just because you keep 10% and pass on the rest doesn't mean that is where your responsibility ends, get mixed up in criminal activities and you could be a lot worse off.
