Has anyone ever been the victim of money muling?

True but he checks out on google.

Seems the BBC's standards are slipping.

Still trying to find siganture in the dictionary. Found a few online sources, one was a business that verfies signatures but with so many typo's on the website maybe thats was designed by the BBC also?

The criminals get idiots to accept payments for them into their legitimate account and then they send the cash to the criminal via Western Union or some other difficult to trace method - usually overseas.

The police then arrest the idiot with the account and they end up with a CIFAS fraud marker, possibly a criminal record and no money for their "work".

I believe the motive is money laundry from criminal activities using money mule, a naive person legitimate account.

The money mule might be a naive person, has not heard about this crime before who genuinely want to help a person who do not have an account here in the UK to transfer the money.

Has any money mule of this kind ever been arrested or tried here in the UK due to this money mule activities ??

How does the court decide whether the person is a victim or a criminal taking advantage of the fee from money laundry activities ??

Is there any news, links covering about this ??

Not sure formal is the right word. However if you're used to twttr, facebook (u ok hun?) and txt, then lots of us forum dwellers don't want to see forums go the same way. I would liken a forum to an email to a stranger. wud u type it lik dis?

I wouldn't worry about it. Some people have such empty lives that they only get pleasure out of being critical of others.

Dan, have you been in contact with the OP on this thread? Sounds like the sort of contact you're after:
