Money mules are people who allow their bank accounts to be used by criminals.
The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau said suspects have been identified in every county in Ireland and warned that those involved are destroying their future.
Detective Chief Superintendent Pat Lordan said young people are being targeted mainly on social media due to the lockdown but that many are also being recruited through school and college to act as money mules.
