What can I say, if it’s not mine to begin with, then it’s not mine to keep. The person you interacted may well be a scammer, although the depiction of events just points to the possibility, but not to the certainty.

I recall a case where someone from my local board outsmarted a likely scammer (loan related), and initially was set to keep the small amount of funds to teach him a lesson. Both accounts were red tagged on the forum, and eventually, the outsmarter sent the funds back and was left with just a neutral tag related to the matter.

The above here is not to illustrate the Trust implications, but rather more that, despite it being a likely scam, people were rather more lenient towards returning the funds regardless. I adhere.
