SCAMMER RECRUITED ME AS A MONEY MULE_
A stranger on WhatsApp promises £1,000 a day for 90 minutes of work from home. He sends a photo of his passport to prove he is real. Then money starts appearing in your account. You keep a commission and forward the rest. The scammer calls it "crypto trading." The bank calls it money laundering.
In this episode, I uncover the true story of Molly, a young woman from Yorkshire who was coerced into becoming a money mule after being groomed online by a man who claimed he would teach her about crypto trading[citation:7]. He deposited £2,100 into her account, told her to keep £300, and instructed her to withdraw the rest in cash and send it to another account[citation:7]. She was unsure and intimidated, but she complied. The result was devastating: Lloyds Bank froze her account permanently, placed a fraud marker on her name that lasted over a year, and when her employer in financial services discovered the marker, she was sacked[citation:7]. Her plans to buy a house were destroyed. All of this happened without any court proceedings[citation:7].
Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the scammer recruited you as the fall guy, and the bank does not care if you were tricked.
