BNo it won’t impact credit history. Such cases are so common nowadays that cyber crime police orders freeze and lein upto layer 6 (max I’ve heard so far) i.e. 5 hops down from the actual scammer account. A tea vendor near my home had a lein of 55 because someone paid him for tea. Guy who paid for it also didn’t know he had tainted funds in his account.
If bank is able to reverse it. Let them do it in their own time. It’s for the better that that specific amount is lein. And your account with rest of the funds is still operational.
BIf I’m not wrong, your next step should be that you were scammed into sending 2k to this person. That way, their account will be marked lein with 2k. Given they have enough balance in the account.Then that guy will probably approach you to resolve it.
But here’s a bummer, I don’t think they’d have more than 100ish balance in that account.
All the crying was fake or a third person in the middle who is also actually a victim.
How do I know this? I have investigated a bunch of similar scams at work. And my family members have also been scammed. And I chased it in various ways. In the end the person I found was also innocent, he was just being used by the scammer.
There’s a very thin chance this is all legit.
Here’s one more bummer, police will laugh it off when they hear the amount.
BYou made a mistake by reversing it yourself. You should’ve let the bank handle it. You’re going to lose the other 2k as well.BAgreed. You do know that there’s rampant account freezing scam being done by these officials? Even at Layer 6, which 5 hops. And nobody will help unless you pay them a portion of frozen value.BYou can name it but as they say getting approval will be difficult. So down the line, it’s quite possible you may have to rename your brand. And if there are similar sounding names in the same class, then it’s nearly impossible (atleast in the legal ways)BYou can actually get the info of the transaction which caused this and the layer at which your account is involved.Bank can provide this. If they don’t cooperate you can approach higher authorities.
