Re: Weird proposition from semi-friend

I think that the current vig for money laundering is around 12 to 15%. A percent per each potential year in jail.

You are doing it wrong.

I think that the vig for money laundering is in the 12-15% range. One percent of each potential year in Fed prison.

You are doing it wrong.

And even if you were to do it, lol @ $50 off '4-5 large'.

Who would trust you with their money with only a $50 incentive.

Standard scam.

Step 1: Steal someone's bank login with a keylogger/ them being stupid.
Step 2: Find a "friend" or "new employee" to transfer the contents of their account to
Step 3: Tansfer the money and have "friend" forward it to western union, bitcoin, whatever.
Step 4: collect money as cash. "friend" is on the hook for all of the stolen money. Deny everything (or buy a bigger house in nigeria).

This scam is so incredibly common. They usually target people looking for "work from home" jobs or they recruit via spam emails. It's amazing how many people still go through with it.

Tell him to pay you the $50 in cash upfront. Then slowplay him until he goes away. Enjoy free pizza and beer.
