Should I trust a company that says they will pay me to use my UK bank account to transfer funds to them?
A company sent me an email stating that they will pay me to use my UK bank account to receive funds from their customers and then transfer the funds to them. Is this a legitimate business operation?
Answers:
no it's money laundering.
You will go to jail if the police catch you.
Just think about it why wouldn't they do it them selves, they are paying you for the risk involved.
Think about it, they want your bank details so that they can take all of your money and use the information to create new accounts, so you end up with vast debts. It will be you who is stuck with the repayments.
Never give out your personal details!
NEVER! Report them to the authorities. You could end up in jail.
Personally I wouldn't do it! I'd find out from trading standards if it was legitimate or not if i were you!
Was the company based in Nigeria. This is called money laundering as is highly illegal. The answer is no!!
Absolutely not. Anything like that is a total scam.
Are people really this naive?
you must be nuts if you even consider giving your account details to these scammers.
NO NO NO NO.. Noone should be requesting to use your account or money from your account. Money Laundering is very illegal. Just delete the email. I bet they are saying they will pay you like £350000 for the use of it. Yeah right B**locks
Of course not, it's a well known scam, they will empty your bank account you idiot.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! I suppose it's some Nigerian scam AGAIN
not unless youlike it in jail
You mug I can't believe you're even considering it. They will be Nigerian gansters. Tell the police you div!
If there was no idiots like you there'd be no such thing as fraud.
Whoooo, don't be naive, once they get your bank details they'll clean you out. Don't you dare send them, it's the oldest con in the world.You certainly won't get anything back from them except a headache.
Don't you read the newspapers ??

If you fall for this, I have a bridge to sell you.

no way! This is a scam that was on watchdog or one of those type of programmes. They end up conning you out of money, can't really remember the details of how they do it sorry. If they were a legit company they'd be able to get their own bank account
NO NO NO NO NO - big scam - report them and delete all the emails!!
NO! It's a scam. Report the straight away to your ISP and the Police!
Hey, sounds like a great idea! You could become rich from doing next to nothing! If you're not going to take up this once in a lifetime opportunity, then forward the details to me, I'll do it!

This is a scam, hit the junk button or spam button or whatever button it is that you hit when its junk mail since its nothing but a scam. You should NEVER be asked for your banking info or any other personal info in a legit business deal.
No No No and No.
Firstly its not legal so you have no stand point when they take your money.
Secondly its just stupid.
Ask you bank manager, see what they say.

If you give your account number to some stranger on the net,, well.you deserve what you get. Or in this case what you you loose.
