Beware of "attractive" job offers!
Recently, there has been an increase in job offers that may not seem fraudulent at first glance but can actually involve you in criminal activities. Similar to well-known scams like the "Nigerian prince" or fake messages from banks, scammers often need someone to receive money into their account on their behalf.
How does it work? The offer typically involves receiving money into your account and then transferring it elsewhere or withdrawing it and depositing it into a Bitcoin ATM. Although this may seem innocent, such actions are actually illegal. By doing this, you are engaging in money laundering.
The risks are very serious:
- The police can easily track you down since you are using your own account.
- Banks are required to report suspicious transactions, leading to swift detection.
- You risk severe penalties, including both suspended and unsuspended prison sentences, and often deportation.
- The scammers remain anonymous, but you will be the one in trouble. Do not get involved in such offers!
