Why you shouldn't receive money from scammers even if it's free.

Came across a post yesterday where a guy received 'free' money from a scammer in infamous telegram google reviews scam.
Now his account is frozen and police is asking for a bribe of ₹50k. He is running pillars to pillars but no solution.

Free money he got was ₹640.
So beware. Screenshot20240708101710

Eye opening post. 

But still I think, until you haven't send them money. Your account will not be blocked. 

The max police can do is put lien on the amount (which is generally less then 500 rs) that they have sent to you.  So even after that you are not in loss, it's just that you haven't earned anything from scammers. 

But as soon as you send them 1000rs or some other amount, you will be marked as scammer as well.

Sorry to say but its wrong.

There is no such conditions as you said.

Amount does't matter.

If you can cite some source of your info, I will take back my words.

In my opinion

Sending money to scammes doesn't flag your account

You are like victim in this case

But receiving even 1 rs. Flag your account as scammer

As these accounts are used to withdraw scammed money

I have a doubt. Will they freeze only the account where he received/sent money or all bank accounts that he owns?

There is another kind of Scam going on by **** so called students.

So Telegram now shows ads [ mostly fake, scam type channels]  to join them below Original Account of Teacher/Educator etc. 

Now some claims that they joined and invested money because they thought that it was promoted by OG or it's his own 2nd channel. 🤔🤔

And they lost their money.

And then they claim I am poor Sir/Madam please refund the money , help me, etc etc. [trying to Scam the educator ] 😏😏.

....................................such people also exists 🤯.

Why would person teaching Anatomy Classes start money doubling scheme ? 🤣🤣🤣

2000KM? police station

There are many doubts

How can you stop someone from sending you money?

2000KM police station, which is the place?

Even when we received some international payments, the bank asked to fill out a form and they released the payment they did not block your account

Bank will never block your account on sender request; in fact, they ask sender to forget or talk to the receiver

May be I am wrong but I believe that this is some fake story to create alert for the above jobs or hidding some facts  Similar story / video were posted when UPI was new

Read the cyber crime laws, police can send a letter to all the banks where accs received even 1 rupee from a cyber crime fir filed & banks have to freeze/put lien on all those accs. No random stranger will send you money unless it was a mistake in which case the person sending would raise the complaint saying wrong transfer not run to police station to file a cyber crime fir which if he wrongly files then legal case can be made against that person too. These are not fake stories, similar stories have been printed in national level newspapers too.

Authorities should properly validate the details to identify if the recipient of illegal money is involved in the scam or just a victim and unfreeze the account immediately in case of latter.

If fir is filed for a amt some of which was transferred to your acc then no matter in which other accs you transfer it to afterwards, they will all be frozen. If you withdraw in cash form from atm then likely the police notice will be send to your home address as registered in bank acc.
