Just this morning, I was reading about money laundering in a German magazine. It stated “In compliance with anti money laundering laws, German banks reported more than 10,000 cases of suspicious transfers to and from customer accounts in 2006″.

That is a lot of suspicious transactions!

I am sure that the most of the cases reported were too conscientiously vetted by the banks. As there are no hard and fast rules which say what suspicious transactions are.

What would be considered suspicious is easy to explain. First of all, the amount of money being  transfered is important. Whereby not only the individual transfers would be considered, but also the sums transfered over a period of time would mark an account as suspicious. This would be especially so, when an account started receiving unusual transactions above and beyond it’s usual turnover.

Where transfers come from and/or go to could also mark an account as suspicious. Strangely enough, top of the list of suspicious countries by transfers to European accounts is the US and it’s not surprising to see Russia by transfers out.

One of the methods being used by crooks and drug rings to cover money laundering activities is the Transfer Agent Job offer. Just like the one offered in this e-mail.

As money laundering laws are in place in most countries, you run the risk of being arrested by taking up any job like this. Sooner or later, it’s you who will feel the brunt of the law bearing down on you and not the crooks behind it.

Billy Wood ART & CRAFT WORKS.
380 Kensington High Street, London, United Kingdom , London,
Mobile: +447024068845 or +447031908923

My name is Mr. Billy Wood I am an Artist and a consultant. I live in UK, with my three kids, two cats, one dog and the love of my life i.e. my wife. It is definitely a full house and I have been doing Artworks since I was young. That made me heard about 18 years experience in the profession. I have a major in Art in high school and took a few College Art Courses. Most of my works are done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils, which I have recently added to make my work more presentable to world. I design and create artwork on the .computer too. I have been selling my artworks for the past 4 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints, dallies, magazines and others. I have sold my artworks in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans and British’s and people in some other countries of the world, they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE and Other Forms of Negotiable Instruments, which is difficult to be cashed here in UK.

I am looking for a representative in the STATE or UK and other countries of the World who will be working for me as a per time worker and I will be willing to pay the person 10% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. I mean someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the STATE or UK and Other Countries of the world. I need a good person who is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive for me and I am working on setting up a branch in the STATE and UK, so for now I need a representative in the United states and UK who will be handling the payment aspect for me. These payments are neither going to be coming in form of a MONEY ORDER, TRAVLLERS CHECKS, PERSONAL CHECK or BUSINESS CHECKS.

These payments will becomefrom my clients to you and your name and address will be affected on any of the negotiable instruments my clients are paying you with ok. So all
you need to do is to cash the PAYMENTS, deduct your said percentage and send the balance of the money back to us through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to any place I will have to instruct you to do that. But the problem I have is Trust and Honesty, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I will contact the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) branch in Washington to get that person tracked down before the next 48hours. These payments from my clients will be sent to you through FEDEX or UPS. Once you have cashed the payment there, you’re meant to deduct your 10% and send the balance to me via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.And if not interested dont bother to reply.

Thanks
Regards,

Mr. Billy Wood
