Illegal participation

[angelise2116]

Id like to take the time to mention, my partner and I advertised ourselves for jobs wanted a few months back. Someone replied by the name of JOSH aka JOSHUA AK whom I'm not surprised to find using other aliases. Point being it was an overseas cashier business and all I needed was a computer. Now he said he was a forex trader when in fact he turned out to be a criminal who had taken money out of an unknown persons account and sent it to me to send directly back to him, at the time i was unaware of his intentions, we found out when my partners bank account became frozen and the police were almost immediately called, if we hadn't co-operated with the authorities My partner /bpyfriend and babys daddy would've been imprisoned for money laundering and whatever else they could've charged him with. He is even probably reading this aswell. I'll have you know if my partner got caught or even charged he would be imprisoned and or fined. This would be entirely unfair cos we have a son who was turning one years old during this time and we never gave this opportunity a second thought because we needed money for our sons first birthday party

So, let me guess. You took a job that involved accepting cheques and bank transfers from someone you had never met, and passed the cash on (or were asked to do so) via an untracable transfer method (like Western Union), leaving you to hold the can when the police came calling? It is called Money Laundering for a reason, you know.

It's a common scam - sounds like you were lucky not to lose money as well - usually, the people sending cash on are liable to pay back the poor saps who were scammed.
