Borrowing and Scams:

Forms of borrowing, credit history, debt consequences & prioritisation, staying safe with money, understanding “money-muling”, which is a person who transfers stolen money between different countries.Money mules are recruited, sometimes unwittingly, by criminals to transfer illegally obtained money between different bank accounts. Money mules receive the stolen funds into their account, they are then asked to withdraw it and wire the money to a different account, often one overseas, keeping some of the money for themselves.

How to protect yourself from scams:

  • No legitimate company will ever ask you to use your own bank account to transfer your money. Don’t accept any job offers that ask you to do this.
  • Be especially wary of job offers from people or companies overseas as it will be harder for you to find out if they really are legitimate.
  • Never give your financial details to someone you don’t know and trust
