Description

International students are being warned not to sell their bank accounts or identities for ‘quick cash’ as they leave Australia after finishing their studies. Australian Federal Police has cautioned that doing so can link them to criminal networks or used as mule accounts. Experts say one can be held liable even when they've left the country. Melbourne-based lawyer Sharad Malik explains the legal consequences as students share their encounters with scammers.
