Fraud: Money Transfers

[Suba]

For the past few years, money transfer fraud has been rampant in my country. If you receive a large amount of money into your mobile banking account from someone you don't know, you should be extremely vigilant and cautious. This is a scam. Shortly afterward, the fraudster will call you, pretending to have transferred the money to the fraudster's account in error, and ask you to immediately return it to the fraudster's account. (The fraudster threatens that if you don't return it, they will report you to the police, as the law in my country prohibits using misdirected funds.) After you return the money via mobile banking transfer to the fraudster's account, the next day you will receive a bill for an online loan you never took out.

If you encounter a similar incident, you should immediately contact your bank and the police. Have you ever received a money transfer from someone you don't know?

I have heard this happen in my country at times. But I have never fallen a victim. And I would never get to fall a victim to such frauds as I have such knowledge now.

Yeah it is not good to spend money that you know nothing about the sender. To avoid issues it is to contact your bank ASAP

That kind of scam is done by an expert scammer. They could be a bunch of gang to avoid getting caught if they use different names. It's crucial if someone be lured with their scam style and approach.
