This mode is usually also used by illegal lenders to ensnare victims.
Usually, the contacting party admits that the transfer was wrong and then directs the recipient to make a reverse transfer and asks the recipient to download an application or click on the link provided to submit proof of transfer.
"The link listed is a link to download an illegal pinjol application which is suspected to be able to retrieve personal data such as contacts on mobile phones, contacts, gallery, storage, and others," he explained.
People who receive 'stray' transfers are asked to contact the bank and not directly transfer back to fraudsters. In addition, the public is also asked not to click on links sent by fraudsters via messages to cellphones. [DDHK News]
