Today, it is very easy to open a bank account online.
Thus, many are scammed into opening one for some illicit business with the promise of "making fast money".
However, the bank identifies the person opening the bank even though they may not be the scammer.
Banks usually call the police when they identify any illicit activities in an account and the police will investigate the matter further. The first suspect the police will question will be the person the account is named under. Not knowing what transactional activity happens within the account will make the person suspicious. Due to this irresponsibility, you may be charge as an accessory to a crime.
So do stay vigilant when someone you know (or don't) comes to you with the promise of "fast cash"!
