New wrinkle on payment processing scam
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:34 am
This is a new wrinkle on the payment processing scam so popular with this crowd, haven't seen this one before.
They are somehow electronically transfering funds in to your account, and then expecting you to send the balance on to them through WU. I'm not quite sure how you do a fraudulent eft, but they seem to think they have found a way.
