Common Scamming Tools

Scammers often exploit the following methods to commit fraud and conceal their true identities, particularly through money transfer agents.

Money transfer agents provide a fast, convenient, and reliable way to send and receive money globally to and from trusted individuals. However, scammers frequently use these services to perpetrate various types of fraud, including advance fee scams, identity theft, investment fraud, and mass market fraud.

The popularity of money transfer services among scammers is due to the fact that they do not require identification for the recipient, only for the sender. This allows scammers to effectively hide their identities.
