Two international students have been charged for their alleged role in an international money laundering scheme that targeted elderly Australians, including a 95-year-old.

Police charged the 24 and 26-year-old Albion residents earlier this week with recklessly engaging in money laundering.

Part of an ongoing police investigation will determine the role these international students played in the scheme. They have been bailed to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on September 28. “As a result, the caller/scammer offers assistance to fix the problem, they then gain access to the victim’s computer or device.

Det Sen Const Weder said the scammer then asked the victim to minimise their banking details and said the process of virus-checking could take a few hours, asking the victim not to hang up. If that doesn’t work, the scammers have a Plan B, tricking victims into directly depositing money into the mule accounts.
