A criminal knows who to target: the innocent, those out of sight, vulnerable, and desperate for money.
When you think you are becoming rich slowly, criminals use your account to transfer money into other accounts by dividing it into smaller pieces.
Just like an innocent mule 🫏 who is unaware of its surroundings, money mules don’t draw much attention, which means that they can easily—often unknowingly—introduce dirty money into the legal banking system and facilitate money laundering operations. 🔍
