IFN Finance

This is a typical money mule scam in which the scammers are targeting Australians. Money is fraudulently tansferred into the account of the "employee", who is then asked to forward the bulk of it via Western Union or Money Gram. Curiously, the image header they used in one of these messages includes the name "Geneva Finance" rather than "IFN Finance". Geneva Finance is a familiar name around these parts.
