I randomly received a payment

Is the random company you’ve ever dealt with? If not, that may be an issue/indication that someone got your details

As for Sky, I’d contact them via their complaints prices and see if that gets me anywhere

Trulioo information services soft search

Then a week lasted Trulioo (id) X council electoral roll

They do ID checking so seems legit :+1:

But do they do checks for sky?

Usually used for credit / Id check / affordability / anti money laundering / gambling affordability.

I don’t think this company has anything to do with the council or a electoral roll especially since it’s Canadian and Courçon based.

Courçon is where these nasty scam casinos lurk since anyone can buy a gambling license from them so might be sky?

Be on the alert for scam calls or even legit calls claiming they accidentally sent you money.

If you transfer the money back to someone without proper due dilligence you could be implicated in money laundering.

They do

But it should of flagged she’s under age + it’ll be strange if a random person withdrew it to her

Does it say (cvs/claw/cvas etc) in brackets after the Truiloo

Each ones has a different meaning such as a loan/credit/age/gambling/money launder

it’s most likely a mistake but if it’s a scam someone will be in touch

OP should make sure if they receive any phone calls from anyone about this (especially someone claiming to be monzo) the conversation to in app chat or call Monzo directly.

Do sky only allow for withdrawals to cards used to top up?

Without too much detail ( last time post got removed) it’s not too hard especially if the person is under 18 to bypass ID checks, as there isn’t much if any credit history to check against.

I’ll of thought a scammer would transfer a lot less because if she doesn’t follow through the scammer has basically lost 2k

Sometimes there’s so much money to clean doing it in smaller chunks isn’t worth the time.

Worth pointing out there is real possibility this whole story is made up. There is a long list of Becky’s who join this forum and start off with seemingly innocent “i need some help” and then end up trolling this place.

Not saying it’s the case here but you never know

The senior team finally rang me and confirmed it was paid incorrectly to me

Do you have to give it back?

For peace of mind find out if someone opened an account with some of your details.

They’ve took it back but gave me something for good will.
Apparently someone entered a number wrong and it got sent to me?
The person who made the withdrawal who they tracked from the transaction reference confirmed he didn’t receive and it’s been fixed however I got issued with a good will gift
