A german radio-station in Berlin had a feature abount those criminals. Sending trojans as spam to people using homebanking, they capture money, and to transfer this money to themselves they need those 'helpers', who receive the 'payments' in-country, then transfer to other countries where the money 'vanishes'. In germany doing such a transfer is 'laundering money', and the 'helper' not only falls under this law but also has to pay back the whole sum, while the 'real criminal' normally is already gone ... It was assumed that there are millions more 'pins + tans' grabbed, and 'on hold', while the scams do not recruit 'enough helpers' to get hold on the money of the already trojanized bank-accounts. So seemingly lots of people have caught on and are ignorig those scams. (I hope my largely rusty english comes across :-) Stucki (getting lots of those all the time)
