Three men have appeared before a Melbourne court after allegedly helming one of Australia’s biggest money laundering syndicates. Accused of purchasing the identities of hundreds of foreign students on the dark web to wash cash and move tens of millions of dollars offshore.

Australians have been urged to exercise caution as thousands fall prey to a convincing new phone scam impersonating the Australian Border Force.

Under the ploy, unsuspecting individuals received a recorded message from the alleged officer, suggesting a parcel addressed to the person had been intercepted and seized for supposedly containing illegal components.
