Receiving money on a card from an unknown sender may not be a pleasant surprise, but a trap: there is a high probability of participating in fraudulent schemes. Such transfers are often used for money laundering, urgent transfers, and other illegal operations, sometimes accompanied by threats or blackmail.
The main trick of fraudsters is to force the recipient to return the money as quickly as possible. Experts advise in such cases not to rush and immediately inform the bank about the receipt of an unfamiliar transfer, and coordinate any actions with the financial organization.
It is impossible to completely prohibit incoming transfers, so it is important to maintain critical thinking and assess the situation soberly in order not to become a participant in a fraudulent scheme.
Attentiveness and caution when receiving unfamiliar payments helps protect your funds and avoid falling for financial scams.
