Is it illegal to steal from thieves?

Filthy LucreHey, Hold My Beer

It occurs to me, after reading the articles about the money mules, that you could:

  1. Set up a fake paypal account, tied to one of those super-market pay-as-you-go credit cards.
  2. Set up a fake email address, and sign up on Monster.com with a fake resume, etc.
  3. Sign up for money mule scheme.
  4. Wait for them to deposit money in the paypal account.
  5. Keep the money.

Seems like it would work better than the average

  1. Collect underpants
  2. ???
  3. Profit!

schemes.
