Basically, the coup consists of deceiving a person with the false narrative that an accidental PIX was made for their account. The criminal contacts a random victim and tries to convince him that there was an amount improperly deposited in his account, then asks that the return be made.
Generally, these criminals try to add an urgency character to the request so that the citizen does not have much time to check the amount and your account, but this is the biggest mistake, as quickly checking the bank statement can avoid losing money in that fraud. Seek to be as attentive as possible to requests!
In addition, experts warn that having the habit of checking bank transactions is a very important step for anyone looking to escape fraud like this. Unfortunately, many people have not even learned the basics of financial education, so they leave a huge opening for the application of scams of this type.
Is it possible to get the money back?
Yes, there is the possibility of getting your money back in cases like this. For this, it will be necessary to resort to the Central Bank's Special Return Mechanism (MED) tool. This is a system whose main function is to help people who have suffered a blow through the PIX.
The first step will be to contact your Bank and report the situation so that they can initiate the necessary procedures. You need to contact the financial institution as soon as possible! After analysis, the money will be blocked for 72 hours in the scammer's account so that there is no risk of him spending the money.
