A One-Stop Money Mule Fraud Shop

Summary: A Krebs on Security report describes mycareerjob.net, a money mule recruitment site that used photos lifted from legitimate websites, a computerized voice, and imagery from The Matrix to train recruits as "financial agents" for laundering stolen funds. One recruit, "Jeremy," learned that another work-at-home employer had tried to send him nearly $10,000 stolen from a Pennsylvania dental practice.
