4. Money muling

Vicki and Geraldine talk to Tracey Carpenter of Cifas, the organisation that runs the UK fraud database, about the alarming rise in the numbers of children involved in fraud.

Talking points:

• Why are children susceptible to being recruited as money mules?
• How does money muling work when children are involved?
• How should we respond when children are being exploited and at the same time are committing crimes?
• What are the consequences if a young person is put on the fraud database?
