Refund Fraud (National Police Agency SOS47 Special Fraud Tactics)

National Police Agency.

Claims Supported by This Source

  1. Refund fraud is a scam where perpetrators impersonate officials from local governments, tax offices, or pension offices, claim that victims can receive refunds for overpaid medical or insurance fees or unpaid pensions, instruct them to operate an ATM, and thereby profit from an account-to-account transfer.
  2. "You will never get money back at an ATM."
  3. As a countermeasure, call back your nearest police station to verify their identity.

How to read the verification levels. 'Read' means the material was read in its entirety. 'Bibliography and abstract confirmed' means the bibliographic information and abstract were verified.
