[MLM Survivors Club] Work At Home -- Interesting Info

It's not quite MLM, but this kind of thing appeals to the same people.

I just read the summary of this and don't have time to go into it in
depth, but it seems there's an actual purpose behind some of these work
at home scams. They actually do let people make money.

Of course, though, there's a catch, but the work at home people never
know this. These are sometimes groups that are involved in phishing
and identity theft. (Phishing is using fake info over the Internet to
trick people into giving out credit card info.) They need people
with "legit" bank accounts so they can launder the money.

Here's the text of the summary:

"Brian Krebs of the Washington Post's Security Fix blog has up an
article on work-at-home money mule scams (backgrounder blog post here).
These operations offer victims hundreds or thousands of dollars per
week for moving money through their own accounts — a critical piece of
the infrastructure for profiting from identity theft and phishing. The
article links to the site of a UK fraud fighter named Bob Harrison, who
lists hundreds of fradulent money-mule operations."

And here's the links included:
