Wire Transfer Scams (a risk not worth taking)

Recently I received a message regarding a service to transfer (wire) money to an account you have to someone else. This is almost always a scam for money laundering by organized crime (mob, mafia, terrorists).

The way this works is they send money to your account and you transfer a portion of it to another account, this helps the criminal "hide" where the money came from.

The bottom line it's illegal and can get the attention focused on you by such agencies as the FBI, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) just to name a couple!

If you become involved with these scammers, common sense should tell you, when they are found and prosecuted for their crimes, it is going to link back to you and you too will most likely face charges.

Even though this seems like you are 'helping' someone, Think of this...You could be helping terrorists, criminals or other bad elements which will put you in the same light as they are.

I see MANY scams such as the ones in the Scams & Fraud section of my website. Which are nothing more than greedy people taking advantage of users on the internet who do not know about that type of fraud. If you question an e-mail/offer you have received and want to know more about it mail it to me and I will find out more for you.

My goal is to help others avoid being a victim and to help ISP's give the BOOT to those who try to scam others just to make a quick buck!
