First time I read about that, how does this work in practice? A person regularly sends you small amounts such that all you see is their name whenever you log into your bank account?
- XorNot 6y agoAmongst other things it's a way to set up a narrative regarding some other fraudulent activity. If you were regularly recieving money from someone, then it looks like you're in business with them - and you'd have a hard time pricing you're not if they then staged some other activities (i.e. shipping you stolen goods, which they then have stolen from your doorstep by an associate).
- edent 6y agoYes. In the UK you can send a payment reference alongside the payment. Imagine getting a dozen messages saying £0.01 From: Your Stalker Ex. Ref: I just want you back! Or similar. It's a real problem.
