A money mule is a person who receives and transfers illegally obtained money on behalf of criminals. By routing stolen funds through their personal bank accounts, money mules help conceal the origin of money generated from cyber fraud, scams, financial crimes, and trafficking activities.
Money mules may act knowingly or be deceived through fake job offers, online relationships, or investment schemes. Their involvement enables criminals to launder money and evade detection by law enforcement agencies.
