No that is not laundering. I would make sure you can trust her before doing this. Just a bit of advice. You don't want her running away with all your hard earned cash. ;)

I have a fiancee that is from the Philippines. She used to live in Spain. She has an account in Spain but she moved to the Philippines and now she is coming here but she wants to use the money in her Spain account to pay for the ticket, So we were thinking to add her to my bank account and then have them wire the money to my account then she can withdraw it with her debit card in her country, Is that Laundering?

If I was "your friend", I would set up a new account at the bank instead of giving them their real account number. If the money is transfered, sit on it until an attorney can look into the situation. Don't try to spend it or move it from the account. If it's for real, the attorney fees are well spent. If not...you may have saved yourself a lot of money or jail time.

I would like to know if, this is money laundry, my friend, was an heir from other country, their transaction is by email only... the bank from other country will transfer a money to him amounting to $1M, is this money laundering?

Please help my friend, he is confused....

This is an extremely popular scam used via the internet. Most of them tend to originate from Nigeria. There are many forms of this.

it is money laundering as well as counterfeiting. The checks that are sent to the victims are always large amount and are always counterfeit. the victim is always asked (eventually) to send back most of the money.

the bank cashes these checks then days later (after you have sent back most of the money by mail order) realizes that it is counterfeit, then gets you in trouble for cashing a counterfeit check. By the time the bank catches on, you have already spent your "10%" and sent of the other 90% to nigeria or some other obscure country. so now you get to pay back that large sum of money, most of which you happily sent back to the scammer. The crappy part? you had to work for your money. All he had to do was make a really nice fake check.

Lately this scam has been wreaking havoc in the word of internet classifieds.

If you are renting out a room you may get a lot of similar e mails from 20 something women saying that they will soon be moving to the states and wish to send you a large check to cover multiple months of rent up front. they send you the check, you cash it, then shortly after she makes up some excuse about not being able to rent the room and coerces you to keep a months rent but send a money order back to her for the remaining amount, which is only fair.

-this scam also takes the form of purchases. a buyer may contact you about buying the drumset you have for sale. then send you way too much and ask you to mail order the rest back to them.

these scammers are like you and me. they also think every day of better and better ways to get what it is that were all after. they are clever. just remember, there are no free lunches. if its too good to be true, it is.

i got an email about a job. all i needed to do was cash some money orders take my 10% off top and wire the rest. if the postal money orders are "real" can i get in trouble for wiring the money to someone over seas?

Without knowing too much about the situation, I think that your friend may have fallen into some kind of scam. I'd also assume that since she didn't knowingly participate, she won't be held responsible. If she were my friend, however, I'd advise her to see a lawyer or to contact the authorities. She may be able to help find the people actually responsible.

I have a friend who received something by us mail telling her she had basically won a lottery in another country. They had her call a number and she did and he got all her info.... bank acct number,, address ect.Well anyway yesterday they wired her 2,000 dollars into her account,, they said it was to pay the taxes on her winnings,,, the check cleared the bank and she was told she had to take the money out of her account and western union it to this other country to pay the taxes on her winnings. she did all this and is now afraid that maybe this is money laundering !!! can you please let me know,,, im really concerned for her,,, she is very gullible and i feel maybe she just got scammed or worse if this is money laundering she could be in trouble or could she???
