Attention, brazen scam on the internet: resourceful crooks open bank accounts in the name of job seekers in order to use them to move money abroad!
This is how the fraudsters operate: They publish fake job offers, sometimes on eBay, sometimes they replicate the websites of well-known companies. Anyone who applies will receive a request by email a few days later to identify themselves using a video identification process. The applicants then virtually scan their ID card with their smartphone.
Internet banks also use this procedure to securely identify new customers. And here's the highlight: the job seeker doesn't realize that he isn't identifying himself for a job, but rather for a bank account.
At the same time, the crooks use the account numbers they have stolen to run online shops that never send goods - fake shops. They then move the incoming money abroad via the account opened in this way. This can be unpleasant for the job seeker: the police will then investigate him for fraud.
