## Resource

Criminals are turning everyday Australians into unwitting money mules, tricking them through romance scams or fake job offers to use their bank accounts for illicit fund transfers. With fake accounts harder to create, scammers now prey on vulnerable people, offering small sums in exchange for access—often devastating victims like Graham Guy, who drained his savings believing he was helping an online lover. Banks are flagging thousands of accounts, international students are prime targets, and penalties include jail time—yet many victims don’t realize they’re breaking the law. The scam’s sophistication is rising, with AI playing a role, making it nearly impossible to recover lost funds before the money vanishes.
