New fraud schemes

Dropping is the involvement of individuals in fraudulent schemes to withdraw, transfer, and cash out stolen money through their bank cards.

5 most common money mule tricks:

- “Easy money” They ask you to receive money on your card and transfer it further for a commission. In reality, it’s the laundering of stolen funds.

- “Help with a transfer” A new acquaintance asks you to move money through your account due to a “block.” The result — the risks fall on you.

- “Open a card” They suggest opening a card “for work” and handing it over. This is a violation and can lead to legal problems.

- Recruitment via messengers They promise quick income without experience through chats and fake job offers.

- Creating urgency “We need it right now!” — so you don’t have time to think.

Remember: if a scheme revolves around your bank card, it’s already a red flag.
