How Telegram job scam CIFAS markers are filed by Revolut
Our client was recruited through Telegram by someone posing as an employer offering a part-time remote job. The role involved receiving payments into their Revolut account and forwarding them to other accounts. Believing this was legitimate paid work, they followed the instructions. Revolut flagged the activity, closed the account, and filed a Misuse of Facility marker on the National Fraud Database. The CIFAS report showed the filing was based on 'own records' with the reason 'Regular payment fraud'. The total amount involved was approximately £80.
