Don’t be Fooled is a collaboration between UK Finance and Cifas. It aims to inform young people about the risks of giving out their bank details, and deter them from becoming money mules.
A money mule is someone who receives stolen money into their bank account and transfers it into another account, keeping some of the cash for themselves.
Criminals need money mules to launder the profits of their crimes, and are increasingly targeting young people. Being a money mule is illegal.
We have created a primary and secondary resource and an assembly presentation, to support teachers in raising awareness of this serious issue. New SEND teaching resources are now available too.
These education resources have received the prestigious Quality Mark award from Young Money.
Over 400 schools have already used them, teaching over 20,000 students. All resources are absolutely free and you can claim yours below.
