New fact sheet for students – don’t fall for a mule scam when seeking holiday jobs

Banks and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) have targeted university students to warn them about money mule scams when seeking holiday employment.

The Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) and the AFP have prepared a fact sheet, ‘Warning to students – don’t get caught by mule scams’. It warns students of the scams which trap them into laundering money for criminals by becoming a money mule.

A money mule is someone who allows their bank account to be used to receive stolen funds which are transferred to a designated account (domestic or offshore) using a money-remitting or wire service, minus a commission payment. The mule is usually approached online via email, instant message or criminals may advertise on legitimate employment websites and publications.
