Money Laundering: What Everyone Should KnowStep 1 of 6
Red Flags and How to Say No
How to tell you're being drawn into a scheme, how to refuse politely but firmly, and where to report it. Sanctions in plain words.
A neighbour's request
Aysel's neighbour, Uncle Rasim, is always friendly. One day he says: "My dear, a friend abroad wants to send me money, but I don't have a card. Let him send it to yours, then you withdraw the cash and give it to me. I'll buy you a present."
The request seems trivial. But this is exactly how schemes begin — with "small favours".
Uncle Rasim may know nothing himself — he could be used too. But the money would go through Aysel's card, and the questions would be put to her. That's why recognising the signals matters.
