FBI warns of job postings that could be money laundering

Reported by Susan Hogan, News4 Consumer Investigative Reporter and Ambar Rodriguez

Job postings offering opportunities to make good money working from home could be illegal schemes recruiting money mules, the FBI warned.

These are a few red flags a job opportunity may be a sham:

  • “Employers” who use web-based email services, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or Outlook.
  • If you’re asked to open a bank account in your own name or in the name of a company to receive and transfer money.
  • If you’re asked to receive funds in your bank account and then “process” or “transfer” them through wire transfers, mail or money service business.
  • If they let you keep a portion of the money transferred.
