"I disagree with the statement "Very few money mules ever suffer directly for their participation in these crimes." As I stated earlier, I almost got caught up in this kind of scam. I also did due diligence and checked out the company. Unfortunately, it's pretty easy to put up a website with no phone #s, only email contacts. Because the money orders were not legit, after I cashed them, I would have been out the money from my account. This young lady was given real money and they only came after her because it was a payroll scam against the library. How many times did your mother tell you... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" AK:)" - Alison Kinderfather
