Scam ka Kaam Tamam
The promise of a refund can sometimes come with a hidden cost.

In this episode of Scam Ka Kaam Tamam, OTP Aunty is told that she has supposedly paid extra towards her EMI and is eligible for a refund. Chaalbaaz Chintu offers to help her receive the money and shares a link to complete the process. Instead of blindly following instructions, OTP Aunty starts asking questions about the refund and quickly realizes that the story doesn’t add up.
A refund scam is a type of fraud where scammers claim that a customer is owed money due to an excess payment, failed transaction, or account adjustment. To receive the refund, victims are often asked to click suspicious links, share banking details, scan QR codes, or approve transactions. In reality, the scammer is trying to gain access to the victim’s money rather than return it.
Many cases of overpayment scam fraud begin with a message claiming that a customer has accidentally paid more than required. A refund scammer may ask victims to scan a QR code scam link or approve a transaction under the pretext of receiving money. In some cases, fraudsters even create fake bank transfer scam refund requests, convincing victims that a payment reversal is needed before the refund can be processed. Understanding how a fraud refund works can help people avoid becoming victims of a fraud bank transfer refund scheme. Always verify refund claims directly with the organisation involved and never share sensitive information or authorise transactions without proper verification.
