Bad guys intentionally transfer a large amount of money into people's accounts with the content "Lend (account holder's name)". Then, they call to say that they transferred the money by mistake and ask to get it back. If the account holder transfers it back to them, they will fall into a scam. From there, they have "evidence of lending" and continuously threaten and terrorize the victim to demand exorbitant interest from the above amount.

In addition to the “loan and interest” scenario, the “wrong money transfer” trick also has another variation: pretending to be abroad, asking for the return of the mistakenly sent money via an international money transfer service link. In fact, this link contains a malicious virus that can take over the victim’s phone or bank account to steal money.

To avoid the “wrong transfer” scam, the authorities recommend that when receiving money transfers of unknown origin, people should not use that money and absolutely not return it to strangers. The right thing to do is to contact the bank or the police to resolve the matter
