Re: The FBI wants you to know:
• Are you receiving PAY or a COMMISSION for facilitating money transfers through your account.
There are no legitimate businesses that will recruit you to receive payments of any kind, including checks, PayPal payments, or e-currency transfers into your personal account, then send cash via Western Union or Money Gram back out. The checks are forged, or may be drawn on a victim's hijacked account, likewise for PayPal or E-currency.
Besides ignoring unsolicited emails for jobs, be especially vigilant of job adds on Craigslist, or responses to a resume that you have posted online. Never provide personal identity information to anyone via email.
Watch out for any foreign entity offering you a business partnership that requires you to establish a Corporation, Limited Liability Company, or fictitious business name in the US. No matter how logical the offer is to open or head a US division for a foreign entity, there are no legitimate circumstances that would require you to open a US Bank account and LLC on behalf of someone else.
With recent restrictions on who can open US bank accounts, recruiting a US cyber-mule to do so on behalf of a foreign entity is a prized accomplishment for cyber criminals. This gives them access to several types of financial processes within the US, which enables them to commit numerous crimes in your name. Any "self employed" job function that requires sending cash, or wiring funds outside of the US is guaranteed to be a criminal operation.
