Even the CTO of an AML tech company gets scam texts…
Our CTO, Nathan Kerr, got this text message yesterday — claiming to be from “Indeed,” offering $300/day for 90 minutes of online work.
Sounds great, right?
Except it’s a scam. And a dangerous one.
This is what’s known as money mule recruitment. Criminal networks send these kinds of texts to trick people into laundering money — often without them even realising it. They ask you to “process payments” or “receive transfers” as part of the job.
Spoiler alert: there is no job. And moving that money could land you in serious legal trouble.
Here’s why this matters:
• These scams are becoming more common — and more believable.
• They target everyday people, not just the vulnerable.
• And yes, even the experts get them.
At One Click Verify, we build tools that help detect and stop these scams before the damage is done. But the first line of defence is awareness.
So please —
• Don’t reply to these messages.
• Don’t share your bank details.
• And tell your friends and family. Because this is how people get caught up in serious financial crime — by accident.
Stay alert. Stay smart. Stay safe.
