Vigilance, awareness, and sound security procedures are all necessary for scammer protection.
Here are some of the finest defences against con artists
Learn for Yourself Your strongest line of defence is knowledge. Keep up with typical fraud schemes and techniques. The more information you have, the easier it will be to spot and prevent such frauds.
Check identities Never give personal or financial information to anybody without first confirming their identity. Request formal credentials and check with the organisation by contacting them through their website or other contact details.

The scammers will always try their best to find ways to scam us and I believe education and awareness about those scammers is the best defensive weapon that we can use to protect ourselves from their negative intentions. A few days ago I received a message on my number where a scammer send me a bank transaction message with an amount 5000 in my local currency. After a few minutes I received a call from an unknown number and it was no one else but the scammer. He said that he has sent the money unintentionally on my account and asked me to resend the money on his account.

He said that he was trying to send the money to his family members in order to support them but it was mistakenly sent to my account. But fortunately I was aware about such scammers and I logged into my bank account to see that if I had received any amount on my account but I didn't received anything and I told him that I didn't received any amount from you and also said to him that I know scammers like you who use such tactics to scam others. The guy cut the call and turned off his number. Those scammers are everywhere and if we aren't aware about them then they can cause huge harm to us. The strange thing I noticed about that scammer is that he know how much money I had in my account and he send an amount that I had in my account.

For a scammer to know how much money you have in your account already, that's to say he got the details of your account from the customer service of your bank. Because I don't see a way a scammer can dictate or know the amount of money in a stranger's account.

If not for your past idea of how scammers operate by sending fake alerts to people, I believe you would have fallen to the scammer method of defrauding people through claiming of sending money to their bank account.

In addition, the best way to follow scammers is never to trust anyone who projects an offer that has a high return on profits. Staying away from such an offer will do a lot of good.
