Mule Account Scams

Lending your bank account to strangers to make money transfers.

How Does It Happen?

Here is how Mule Account Scams unfold.

Example of a scammer offering to "rent" your bank account with the promise of attractive payment:

1 Scammers will ask to 'rent' your bank account, and in return, they promise you extra cash.

2 This can come from anyone, including family members, relatives and friends.

3 They will then use your account for illegal activities like laundering or withdrawing your money.

Here is what you can do to protect yourself.

Don’t share your bank account, ATM Card or Internet Banking access to anyone.

Always track the transactions in your account.
