News:

“Deets and Squares” –

• “Deets” is slang for bank details and a “Square” is a credit or debit card.
• Young people are accepting large payments into their accounts from strangers, in order to receive a cut of the money, this puts them at risk of becoming money mules and assisting criminals to launder the proceeds of crime.
• If you are aware of any potential victims or incidents please report to the Police.
• Money laundering is a crime. Check the “links for parents” section above for more details.
