Their trick lies when you’re also convinced and try to check your account and before you realize, your money might be gone. Despite checking your account to confirm, another way under this same trick is the pressure they’ll give you by forcing you to send the money back and you might be thinking it’s real money that is sent and out of pressure can make you send the money and later realize no money came into your account.
2. They normally come with fake phones and tell you to send money to a number for them after placing the phones on your counter. They behave as if they are very busy. If you play to their tricks, you are defrauded.
