An expert has warned of new ways criminals are approaching young people to recruit them as money mules “as a way to make quick cash.”
Platforms like TikTok and Snapchat are being used to attract people as young as 15 into carrying out the crime while some are even being approached in person outside schools.
A money mule is a person who agrees to use their bank account to launder money - which is illegal and carries jail time for those caught.
