Fraud Alert - Money Mules

This one is becoming a fast growing trend, so I'm posting some info on a relatively new fraud scheme.
I know I'm not the only one that receives job offers via email for "money transfer agents" or "re-shipping agents" which utilize your bank accounts for transactions for overseas companies. These transactions are fraudulent and should be marked as SPAM or phishing emails in your email software. Just delete them asap - clicking on the links provided usually validates your email address for the sender and will prompt further scam related emails.

Here are some links that describes the varieties of the fraud scheme in more detail:

Please share this with friends.
I hope it helps someone from falling in to this very serious trap.
