WHAT IS MULE ACCOUNT SCAM?

Mule account scams trick you into lending your bank account to someone else that often under the promise of easy money. In reality, your account may be used for illegal transactions such as money laundering, which could get you into serious legal trouble.

HOW THEY WORK:

• Scammers will ask to 'rent' your bank account, and in return, they promise you extra cash.
• This can come from anyone, including family members, relatives and friends.
• They will then use your account for illegal activities like laundering or withdrawing your money.

HOW TO DEFEND?

• Don’t share your bank account, ATM Card or Internet Banking access to anyone.
• Always track the transactions in your account.
