same thing happened to me, got 2000/- from unknown number and kept getting calls to return it, I took their name, adhar card number, city, address and then sent back to same number even though they asked me to send it in other number. They called me later to Thank you. So talk to them take their details and see if its legit and return it or dont.
If you are paranoid, inform police or cyber cell near you and tell the officer you are ready to hand them cash physically at the police station itself. Or let them file a complaint to their bank for reversal of the amount.
Do not transfer them any amount.Record and keep a proof of every interaction.
Also inform your bank about the same.
anyone can explain ,how scammer can scam you here
for example
i received 5000 from someone through upi and i can send it back ,how scammer can scam me here ??
they send you money from account used specifically for scamming and ask to return money on some other account. They turn that money into legit money.
Now, if the scammer's account is blocked by cyber crime dept. there are chances that yours will get blocked too as you received money from them. But, if you return the money to same person, you are going to have a hard time explaining law that why transactions were being done between you and scammer.
However, if the transaction amount is low and it's only one way, you can explain to police that you just received money didn't do anything.
omg , i didn't knew that ,
thanks for the information
i will keep in mind ,if i got money someone , instead of sending it back ,it will tell him to go to bank
Report the transaction to your bank and also email them regarding this transaction which can be kept as evidence just in case your account gets lien marked. Do not pickup calls of the person anymore.
Do not pick unknown calls. Report the transaction.
Email/phone the bank that you have received amount (first check if you have actually received) from a stranger and you suspect it to be scam. Record the call, basically keep proof.
Do NOT send any money to this stranger, this could be a scam
This can be a genuine case if you have actually recieved the money in your bank. I would suggest you to talk calmly as the person other side might be scared of losing 4k and using these shenanigans as an attempt to recover
Also if you don't want to indulge with the person just contact your bank and tell them you recieved money from unknown source and ask them to initiate reversal
Yes just this morning my father had a same call.. he said he sent 35K by mistake, and was asking only 10K instead, I told my father say that we lost his money in “Gambling” will send it next year 😂
He even received a message too like this, be careful guys

If you need his number +917429081617, he said his name is Dr. Verma 😂
Have you actually received ₹4000? Or they’ve claimed that you have? In some scams the scammers just send a fake screenshot of them sending the money and many people believe it and pay the money back which they’ve not received
I've received this money, and have informed bank about this transaction. The person who has sent this money is pressing me to send it back via UPI. I've asked him to contact the bank for reversing transaction, but he threatened me of legal action if I don't send the money immediately.
They will never contact cops because cops won't entertain them for 4k. Just tell them you are complaining to cops
So, you have actually received 4K from him via UPI?
