In our town ,their is a man that has sent 350 thousand dollars over to Israel. He goes into gas station, krogers and any where else they send money ever few days to wire money. He has ask people in town to sent it so it can't be track back to him. The banks, attorneys and who ever knows about it has told him to stop because it's a scam. This man keeps doing it thinking he's going to get millions back. I am wondering if he can do this how many other people are doing it also. The banks has sent out papers informing people that it is a scam and not to sent money.

There are international scams where you're asked to send some money as 'good faith' or bribes or somthing, so you can claim some much larger sum.
The amount of money flowing around the world is too great to keep tabs on all of it, and the vast majority is legitimate, so just tracking that doesn't help.
For instance, so much money flows from America to Mexico just from workers sending money to thier families that it makes up the second largest source of Mexican GDP. Some of that is illicit - from illegals or laundered drug money - some of it is legit.

First of all I am not a supporter of Israel. If it is his money why can't he send it to who he wants? If people in town feel uncomfortable sending the money, why are they still doing it? If this is a scam why on earth are the police not involved?
