Fibank What does it mean financial mule?
The mule is a person who transfers illegally obtained money between different payment accounts, while earning a commission payment.
The most targeted profiles are:
- The unemployed, students and people in economic distress;
- Men (more likely than women) particularly those aged 18-40
- Active social media and internet users.
Be informed - ignorance is no excuse!
Actions performed by financial mules are illegal and accountable for. According to the Bulgarian legislation (Article 253 of the Criminal Code - money laundering), money muling operations help organized criminal groups to "easily" transfer financial funds in accounts worldwide on a global scale.
Don't be an accomplice of organized crime.
How to avoid becoming a victim?
A money mule is someone who is recruited by criminals to launder illegally obtained funds. Be cautious and do not be misled by ads for "easy" money or work without specific requirements and qualifications. Check out carefully the firm's credentials and their listings for jobs and extra income! If a story sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be very cautions of unsolicited offers and promises to make easy money. Easy money is illegal and dangerous. Money muling helps foster the cycle of criminal activity and money laundering worldwide. Never give your bank account details to anyone unless you know and trust them. Think twice whether you have become a money mule and in case you have any doubt about it, alert immediately your bank and the police.
