i was asked to check a property before an overseas buyer, whom i've never met before, pays for it. how do i accept payment from an overseas bank without getting into trouble? i was worried it could be a bad actor. what if the overseas bank account was dirty? i wanted to consider this a potential money laundering mule tactic but i'm used to taking calculated risks. should i approach my bank to ask for procedures eg ask for ID and video call for facial verification? i can accept paypal or crypto too, but crypto payment is risky coz the MAS approved exchange can flag money laundering concerns and i'll get into more trouble than it's worth

Money laundering means the dirty money pass through your hand and used for something. Your case is just providing a hand leg services to check property, the person may even not buy afterall, should be nothing wrong.

how is it a money launder mule when you didnt pay back the money to them?

And how much is the sum they paying you to check the property?

Please type properly. Are you the buyer or seller of the property? What do you mean you check the property? Check what? Are you becoming a money mule using your name to buy a property and sell or rent out later? Yes, it sounded like money laundering. Or you explain your case clearer so we do not misunderstand?

Better don't do such accept money fe overseas and transfer money to buy property or whatever. You rightly pointed out that this is money laundering.

Good luck.

Don't do it.

For christ sake, get a property agent to guide you and explain to you the 1001 ways ... Pay him good commission for getting you out of trouble in the face of law... You really need help.🙏

my concern is they give me more money than i asked for

then just accept the money and dont transfer back ah
Anyway govt is more concern about money laundering in millions

your one at most few thousand dollar with well documented chat + issue them an invoice + declare in your NOA
no matter what also you no wrong what

ill accept it thru crypto because if account freeze, its just a crypto acc, wont affect your other bank accounts
