UThese are money laundering scams. Earlier the bankers like those from Bihar were participating in it by opening accounts without adequate KYC checks for transferring fraudulent funds. But after strict measures by RBI, that’s being difficult. So they find ways to transfer these funds into random persons’ accounts.
1. They are part of these gangs who either threaten or blackmail people into paying. But since the receiving bank account gets tracked and blocked, they are running out of accounts to get quick transfers like these.2. It could be those email scams saying you have won this sum and to receive that, pay so much for customs and GST.
3. People open fraud stores on Instagram and then ask people to pay 50% in advance. They give these random UPI numbers.
4. Fraud gambling and other sites asking people to sign up, they keep rotating their payment destinations. These destinations are random mule accounts who don’t know what they are doing and then “help” by taking digital payments like this.
5. They go to a shop, buy something exactly for the sum demanded from the victim like let’s say 5k. Then they claim their account is not working and they will call their relative to send the money. They take a pic of the UPI QR Code and get the victim to dispatch money into that.
