На карту пришли 5000 ₽ от неизвестного. Как вернуть деньги отправителю?

Месяц назад мне на карту поступили 5000 Р от неизвестного лица. Потом начались звонки и переписка с просьбой вернуть деньги, которые якобы были отправлены на строительство какой-то мечети. Я попросила звонивших обратиться в банк. Потом сама позвонила в банк, но там отказываются возвращать деньги отправителю и говорят, что сделать это могу только я.

Этот человек не успокаивался. Он говорил мне, что у него много детей, их нечем кормить, просил вернуть деньги. Звонил с нескольких номеров. Вроде бы он написал заявление о возврате, но я ему не верю. Хочу, чтобы деньги вернул банк, а я могу подтвердить, что они мне не предназначались.

Пока я ничего не потеряла, кроме нервов. Но что делать дальше? Может ли банк списать с моей карты деньги по заявлению другой стороны? Есть ли у банка какой-то срок, когда он уже не сможет списать с моей карты деньги самостоятельно?

Елена, хорошо, что вы сразу обратились в свой банк и сообщили о ситуации. Но эту проблему действительно должен решать отправитель перевода, а не вы. Как ему действовать дальше, зависит от того, как он перевел деньги.

В некоторых случаях отправитель может вернуть ошибочный перевод, обратившись в свой банк. В некоторых — нет, и тогда отправителю придется возвращать деньги через суд. Это зависит от способа, которым он перевел деньги, и лояльности банка.

Как вам поступили деньги

Отправителю известен ваш номер телефона, но он не мог узнать его в банке: тот не вправе разглашать данные своих клиентов. Скорее всего, отправитель изначально переводил деньги на вашу карту по номеру телефона.

ст. 26 закона «О банках и банковской деятельности»

Отправитель мог использовать систему быстрых платежей от Центробанка. На май 2020 года к СБП подключены 56 банков, подобная система есть у Сбербанка. Платежи через СБП мгновенные и безотзывные: переведенные этим способом деньги нельзя вернуть без согласия получателя.

Вероятно, отправитель ошибся в номере телефона. Но при подобном переводе в мобильном банке может открываться меню, показывающее, какой банк человек выбрал для получения переводов через СБП. Также указаны имя и первая буква фамилии получателя. Не обратить внимания на неправильное имя получателя, мне кажется, практически невозможно.

А может быть, у отправителя был только номер телефона и он просто не знал имени владельца счета, на который переводил деньги. Чтобы избежать таких ситуаций, отправителю лучше всегда заранее узнавать, на чье имя оформлена карта, привязанная к номеру телефона. Все-таки он отвечает за правильность реквизитов при переводе, и вы тут ни при чем.

5 способов узнать о вас абсолютно все по номеру телефона за полчаса

Наконец, есть вероятность, что это просто мошенник. Он мог узнать ваш номер, например, если вы указывали его на сайтах объявлений.

Что делать с переводом

Я не знаю, мошенник перевел вам деньги или честный человек. Рассмотрю оба варианта.

Это мошенник. Вернув ему 5000 Р, вы можете потерять и свои деньги. К примеру, сначала вы переведете деньги по указанным им реквизитам, а затем может объявиться их реальный владелец.

Насторожитесь, если вам предлагают вернуть деньги не на тот счет, с которого они поступили. К примеру, в истории операций в приложении банка или на сайте банка вы видите, что перевод пришел от Екатерины К., а вас просят вернуть деньги по номеру карты или номеру телефона, к которому привязана карта Василия Д.

Также стоит быть осторожнее, если отправитель путается в объяснениях. К примеру, очень подозрительно, если сначала человек говорит, что отправлял деньги другу, потом утверждает, что переводил их бабушке или на благотворительность и т. д.

Развод при переводе денег на карту

Если у вас есть сомнения, советую не общаться с отправителем. Можете добавить его номер в черный список, чтобы звонки и сообщения вас не беспокоили.

Это обычный человек. Рекомендую самостоятельно вернуть перевод, если отправитель переводил вам деньги по номеру телефона. Это можно увидеть в описании перевода в приложении банка или личном кабинете. Там будут видны имя и первая буква фамилии отправителя.

Если будете возвращать деньги, убедитесь, что переводите их человеку с таким же именем и первой буквой фамилии. Эти сведения станут видны, когда вы введете номер телефона для перевода.

Кроме того, можно вернуть деньги самостоятельно, если перевод был сделан в рамках одного банка. К примеру, в Тинькофф-банке в случае перевода от другого клиента можно вернуть деньги, открыв информацию о поступлении и нажав кнопку «Перевод обратно».

Если деньги вам перевели другим способом, посоветуйте отправителю обратиться в его банк или к контрагенту и сообщить об ошибке. В некоторых случаях перевод можно отменить, но не всегда. Это зависит от того, как происходил перевод: с карты на карту, банковским переводом или через партнера.

Чтобы ваш банк вернул деньги в банк отправителя, может потребоваться ваше согласие. Вы можете заранее подать в свой банк заявление о том, что это зачисление денег ошибочно, вы на него не претендуете и готовы вернуть деньги отправителю. В целом это самый верный вариант: написать заявление, отдать его в банк, не тратить эти деньги — и дальше пусть отправитель платежа сам разбирается.

Лояльные банки готовы помогать даже с возвратом переводов, совершенных через СБП. Для этого банк отправителя платежа связывается с банком получателя, после чего с вашего согласия деньги вернут. Но поскольку платежи безотзывные, только реально клиентоориентированные банки будут готовы заниматься подобным возвратом.

Если отправителю не удастся вернуть деньги через банк, он может подать в суд иск к вам о неосновательном обогащении. На это есть три года с даты перевода, но в некоторых случаях срок исковой давности можно продлить. Если отправитель убедит судью в своей правоте, то по исполнительному листу сможет списать деньги с вашего счета.

Что делать? 26.11.18

Как я могу оспорить операцию по карте?

Пока вы и отправитель разбираетесь в ситуации, разумно не снимать эти деньги с карты и не тратить их. Исходя из срока исковой давности, вы сможете оставить их себе только через три года. Впрочем, по решению суда эту сумму можно списать с любого вашего счета, поэтому необязательно три года держать их именно на этой карте.

Мы уже писали об ошибочных переводах и что делать в таких ситуациях. Почитайте и покажите друзьям:

Contact the Credit Card Issuer’s Fraud Department 90015 90002 The first thing you should do if someone opened a credit card in your name is to let the credit card issuer know that the account is fraudulent.If you received a letter or email that looks like it’s from the issuer, it could be a phishing scam, so resist the urge to call the number provided. 90003 90002 Instead, go to the issuer’s website and call the customer service number listed. Depending on the situation, you may need to call the issuer several times to restore everything, so keep records of what the customer service representatives tell you. 90003 90002 Ask the issuer to close the account while it investigates the fraud, so you do not have to worry about the thief racking up more debt in your name.If they will not close the account before investigating it, ask that they at least put a hold or freeze on any new charges. 90003 90014 2. Report the Identity Theft 90015 90002 You should file an identity theft report with the FTC. This will help you document the incident and you can use the identity theft report to get a free credit freeze, if you decide to go that route. 90003 90002 There are also additional identity theft resources here on Experian.com to help with additional tips on what do if you’re the victim of different types of identity theft.90003 90014 3. Consider a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze 90015 90002 Once you’ve addressed the account you know about, the next step is to prevent the fraudster from opening more. 90003 90002 There are two ways to do this: fraud alerts or a credit freeze. 90003 90034 Initial fraud alert 90035 90002 An initial fraud alert stays on your credit report for 90 days and notifies lenders that you may be a victim of identity theft. Any lender that receives a credit application in your name can then contact you directly to verify your identity before opening the account.90003 90002 You only need to request an initial fraud alert with one of the three credit agencies-Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. That agency will automatically notify the other two. Once the 90-day period is up, you can renew for another 90 days. There’s no limit to how many times you can renew. 90003 90034 Extended fraud alert 90035 90002 If you want long-term protection but do not want to have to remember to renew your fraud alert every few months, consider an extended fraud alert. 90003 90002 An extended fraud alert lasts for seven years and requires a copy of the investigative or incident report that you filed.The same verification process applies to lenders. And if you feel like you do not need the alert for the full seven years, you can remove it in the future. 90003 90034 Credit freeze 90035 90002 Rather than notifying lenders that your personal information has been compromised, a credit freeze prevents them from accessing your credit report altogether. Without that access, it’s unlikely that they’ll create a credit account in your name. 90003 90002 Unlike fraud alerts, you have to request a credit freeze with each individual credit agency.90003 90002 Keep in mind, though, that a credit freeze can also prevent you from getting credit. The same may apply if you’re looking for a new job, applying to rent an apartment or opening a utility account. That said, you can request a temporary lift when those you need to. 90003 90002 Depending on where you live, you may be charged a fee to request a credit freeze. However, fees are waived if you share a valid investigative report. 90003 90002 Also, if you’re a member of Experian CreditWorks or Experian IdentityWorks, you can easily lock (and unlock) your Experian credit file with Experian CreditLock via the website or app.90003 90014 4. Review Your Credit Reports 90015 90002 Hopefully, the fraudulent account you know about is the only one, but it could be just the tip of the iceberg. 90003 90002 As a result, it’s crucial that you monitor your credit reports regularly, which you can do for free through Experian, to see if there’s additional fraud. Review the accounts on your reports, especially the dates they were opened. Then check your own records to make sure they match up with when you opened your legitimate accounts.90003 90002 You can request a free copy of your credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com as you’re entitled to one free credit report from each of the three credit agencies every 12 months. You’re also entitled to an extra free copy of your credit report if you request a fraud alert. You can also get a free copy of your Experian credit report here on Experian.com 90003 90002 If you’re having trouble deciphering your report once you receive a copy, check out Experian’s guide on how to read your credit report.90003 90014 5. Dispute Fraudulent Information With the Credit Bureaus 90015 90002 Once you’ve reviewed your credit reports, if you see anything that is not yours on them (like a new credit card account), you’ll want to dispute the information . Fraudulent accounts can damage your credit scores, especially because the identity thief is highly unlikely to make any payments on the account. 90003 90002 So, in addition to reporting the fraud to the credit card issuer and the police, dispute the unauthorized account with the credit bureaus.Be sure to note that the balance on the account is because of fraud and include any documentation you’ve already received from the credit card issuer. 90003 90002 You can begin a dispute with Experian online here. You’ll also need to dispute anything with Transunion or Equifax via their respective websites. Once Experian and the other credit agencies receive your dispute, they’ll contact the credit card issuer to verify the information. When the investigation is complete, they’ll provide you with a response and remove any account that is confirmed to be fraudulent.90003 90014 Do not Delay 90015 90002 Life gets busy sometimes, but identity theft can go from bad to worse in an eyeblink if you’re not careful. Start these steps as soon as you learn about someone opening a credit card in your name, and do whatever you can to prevent the fraud from happening again. The sooner you catch and address fraud, the less havoc it will wreak on your credit and financial health. 90003 90002 Also, by regularly checking your credit card statements and your credit report, you can keep an eye on any suspicious activity to take action immediately.90003 90002 Read more here on Experian about credit card fraud and how to protect yourself from identity theft. 90003.90000 A simple guide to credit cards 90001 90002 90003 Used well, a credit card is a secure and flexible way to pay and can be a good way to spread the cost of major purchases. But if you only make minimum payments or run up a bill you can not pay back, credit cards can be costly. 90004 90003 Find out more about how credit cards work, and if they would be the best option for you. 90004 90007 90008 How does a credit card work? 90009 90002 A credit card lets you spend money on credit — it’s like having a loan for the amount you spend using the card.You can spend up to a pre-set credit limit, which might be a few hundred or several thousands of pounds. 90007 90002 It depends on how confident your card provider is that you’ll pay it back. 90007 90002 If you pay off the bill in full each month, you will not pay interest on what you’ve borrowed. If you make cash withdrawals though, interest is usually charged on a daily basis from the day you take your cash. 90007 90002 This is one of the reasons why you should avoid taking cash out using a credit card.You’ll be hit with charges — up to 4% or more with some companies. The interest rate for cash withdrawals is also usually higher than for purchases. 90007 90002 If you do not pay off any outstanding balance in full then interest will be charged. 90007 90002 It’s usually backdated too, so if you bought something at the start of the month you’ll be charged a whole month’s interest. 90007 90008 Is a credit card for me? 90009 ? 90024 Did you know? 90025 90002 Around 60% of people who have credit cards pay off the total balance each month.90007 90002 90003 Source: UK Cards Association 90004 90007 90002 There are some important points you need to keep in mind before applying for and using a credit card. 90007 90034 90035 You need to make at least the minimum payment each month, even during an interest-free period. Set up a Direct Debit for the full monthly balance, or for as much as you can afford to repay. This will mean you do not miss a payment, which could lead to unwanted charges and the loss of any introductory rate.Missing payments could also damage your credit rating. 90036 90035 You’ll have a credit assessment by the card provider when you apply, which will usually include checking your credit reference file. A good credit rating will improve your chances of a successful credit application. It could also give you access to cards offering the lowest interest rates and / or promotional offers. 90036 90035 You need to be at least 18 to apply for a credit card. With some cards the minimum age is 21. 90036 90041 90008 Pros of credit cards 90009 90034 90035 90003 Easy to carry, easy to use 90004.Credit cards are accepted at more places than charge cards and prepaid cards. 90036 90035 90003 Safer than cash 90004. If your card is lost or stolen, just call your bank and cancel it. If it’s stolen and used fraudulently, you’re much more likely to get the money back. 90036 90035 90003 Buy now, pay later 90004. If you do not have the cash you need until your next payday, or for a major purchase, a credit card gives you some extra financial wriggle room — though you should only use it if you’re confident you can pay it back.90036 90035 90003 You’re protected 90004. With credit cards, you’re protected for most purchases over £ 100 and up to £ 30,000 — so if you book a holiday and the provider goes out of business, the card company should cover the cost even if you only paid an initial deposit by card. This is under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. You might also be protected for smaller purchases that are under £ 100 with the ‘chargeback’ scheme. Read more about the protection you get with credit cards. 90036 90035 90003 Freebies 90004 often come with credit cards — things like air miles, reward points and cashback.Find out more about Cashback credit cards. 90036 90041 90008 Cons of credit cards 90009 90034 90035 90003 High-interest payments 90004. If you do not clear your balance at the end of each month you’ll normally have to pay interest on your outstanding balance. The interest rate on a credit card can be quite a bit higher than for a personal loan. 90036 90035 90003 Beware the debt spiral 90004. Miss just one payment and the interest will start to add up. Unless you pay off what’s owed each month, you can quickly spiral into debt if you continue spending on your card.90036 90035 90003 Additional fees 90004. As well as the interest, you could find yourself paying additional fees or penalties for exceeding your credit limit or missing a payment. There are also fees for using a cash machine, and some cards charge an annual or monthly fee on top. 90036 90035 90003 Deposits and pre-authorisations can cut into your credit limit 90004. Some places like hotels or car rental firms might use your credit card to take a pre-authorisation. This is so they can charge you if you use things like the mini-bar and do not pay for it.They’ll put a hold on part of your credit limit — say £ 500 — and while it’s in place you will not be able to spend the money. Even after they remove the hold there might be a few days ‘wait until your credit limit is back to normal. 90036 90035 90003 Expensive to use abroad 90004. This very much depends on the card. Some are designed for travellers, others are more expensive when it comes to fees and other charges — depending upon whether you use the card for purchases or cash withdrawals. Shop around to find the best deal.90036 90041 90008 Charges and fees 90009 90002 Be careful how you use your credit card. There are all kinds of ways you can incur charges. 90007 90024 Watch out for interest rates 90025 90002 If you do not pay off your credit card balance at the end of the month, and you’re not in a 0% introductory period, you’ll pay interest on the whole of the statement balance, not just the part you haven ‘t repaid. 90007 90002 90003 New customers beware! 90004 You might get an introductory rate when you first get the card.But check whether this covers purchases or balance transfers or both. Remember, it will not cover cash withdrawals. 90007 90002 Also, check what the interest rate will be once the introductory period is over and make sure you repay in full before then if you can. 90007 90002 If you’re transferring a balance from another card, you will usually be charged a fee, often around 3%. 90007 90002 You need to work out whether it’s worth paying this in order to benefit from a lower interest rate on the card you’re transferring to.90007 90024 Late payments damage your credit rating 90025 90002 If you make your payment after the monthly deadline on your statement, you’ll have to pay a late payment charge. 90007 90002 Any 0% or other introductory rate could also be withdrawn. On top of this, other companies will see that you were late, as part of your credit record. 90007 90002 This could have a negative impact on future credit applications like applying for a mortgage. 90007 90024 Minimum credit card payments can get out of control 90025 90002 When you get your credit card statement you can choose to pay off a minimum amount, the whole thing or any amount you choose.90007 90002 Always aim to repay as much as you can — if you only make the minimum payment, it’ll take a long time to pay off your debt and you’ll end up paying a lot more than you borrowed. 90007 90002 90003 Example 90004 90007 90002 If you had a £ 1,000 balance, are charged 18% interest and no longer use the card: 90007 90128 90129 90130 90131 Monthly repayment 90132 90131 Total interest 90132 90131 Total cost 90132 90131 Time taken to clear balance 90132 90139 90140 90141 90130 90143 90003 £ 30 90004 90146 90143 £ 353 90146 90143 £ 1,353 90146 90143 3 years and 10 months 90146 90139 90130 90143 90003 £ 100 90004 90146 90143 £ 85 90146 90143 £ 1,085 90146 90143 11 months 90146 90139 90166 90167 90002 By paying £ 70 more each month you’d pay £ 268 less in total and pay off your debt 2 years and 11 months earlier.90007 90024 Cash withdrawals cost money 90025 90002 Credit and debit cards work differently at cash machines. Debit cards are mostly free or tell you if there’s a charge. 90007 90002 If you use your credit card you might pay a fee every time you take out cash and you might not be warned of the extra cost when you use the machine. 90007 90002 Fees can be as much as £ 5 per withdrawal. You’ll also be charged interest on the money, even if you pay it off by your card repayment date. 90007 90002 The same applies to other transactions that are treated as cash — such as using a credit card to purchase foreign currency or gift cards, or make gambling transactions.90007 90002 With fees and interest, avoiding taking out cash on a credit card is the best advice. 90007 90024 Credit card cheques come with fees 90025 90002 A credit card cheque is like a normal cheque, but the money goes on your credit card bill instead of coming out of your bank account. 90007 90034 90035 They are expensive — they are treated like a cash withdrawal, so the interest rate is higher and there are additional fees on top. 90036 90035 Credit card cheques do not have the same protection for your purchases as card transactions, because Section 75 does not apply.90036 90041 90002 They’re much less popular now and you have to ask for them from your card provider. As with cash withdrawals, they’re very expensive to use and the best advice is to avoid them. 90007 .90000 How to Check the Status of My Unemployment Debit Card | Work 90001 90002 By Lainie Petersen Updated March 26, 2018 90003 90002 After you are approved for unemployment benefits, your state may offer you the option of receiving your benefits on a debit card. This card will typically be mailed to you soon after your benefits are approved, and it will be up to you to monitor any activity on it, including the receipt of your benefits. 90003 90006 How Can I Track my Unemployment Debit Card in the Mail? 90007 90002 Your state’s unemployment website will inform you of when you can expect to receive your debit card.This can take a few weeks after you file your claim, so it’s a good idea to be careful with your budget until your card arrives. States typically use standard mail to send your card, so no tracking is available. 90003 90010 What if I Have not Received my Unemployment Card? 90007 90002 If your card does not arrive within the expected timeline, get in touch with unemployment to explain your situation. Some states may provide a separate customer service number for handling debit card issues. You may also want to check to make sure that your claim was approved.90003 90014 Tip 90015 90002 As a security measure, debit cards are often mailed in plain white envelopes. The envelope may also be printed with an out-of-state return address. To avoid inadvertently throwing away your debit card, be sure to open all your mail while you are waiting for the card to arrive. 90003 90018 How Long Does it Take to Get Unemployment Money on My Debit Card? 90007 90002 The time it takes to get your first payment via debit card depends on where you live. For example, it can take four weeks for someone in Texas to receive their first payment, while recipients in Washington state can expect to receive it about two weeks after being approved for benefits.Your state should tell you when you can expect the payment to be added to your card’s balance. 90003 90002 Once your benefits begin, most states send payments every two weeks after you have certified your continued eligibility for unemployment benefits. This means that you either call into a voicemail system or log in online and answer questions about whether you have been employed, any money that you have earned and whether you have made efforts to find a new job. Every state is different, but in many cases, a deposit will be made within a day or two after you certify.90003 90024 Why Has not my Debit Card Been Credited? 90007 90002 There are several reasons why an expected payment may not arrive on your debit card. Here are a few of them: 90003 90028 90029 You failed to activate your debit card. When you received your debit card in the mail, you also receive instructions for activating the card by phone or online. If you did not activate your card or did not activate it properly, benefits will not appear in your balance. 90030 90031 90029 You did not certify for benefits.States require you to certify your eligibility for benefits on a regular basis. If you fail to certify for a specific period, you will not receive a payment. If you forgot to certify, your state may allow you to go back in the system and complete certification for that period. Do not delay, however, after some time has lapsed, you may not be able to go back and claim benefits to which you were originally entitled. 90030 90031 90029 Your claim has been questioned or suspended. While this is unlikely, it sometimes happens that your unemployment agency receives information that causes it to suspend your claim while it investigates whether you are still eligible for benefits.In many cases, this happens because you made a mistake while certifying for benefits and answered a question in such a way that would disqualify you from a benefit payment. 90031 90037 90014 Tip 90015 90002 Some states have automated phone and online systems that can tell you when a payment has been sent to your debit card. Check the service first to make sure that a payment has actually been issued. 90003 90042 Other Debit Card Considerations 90007 90002 90045 Checking purchases: 90046 The back of your debit card should include a customer service number as well as a website address.These services can provide you with statements that show you your recent purchases. 90003 90002 90045 Minimizing fees: 90046 Some debit card companies, including those contracted by state unemployment departments, charge fees for certain activities, such as using an ATM or taking advantage of bill pay services. Make sure you understand these fees before you use your card, as well as ways that you can minimize or avoid fees entirely: 90003 90028 90029 Pay with the card: Unemployment debit cards usually have either a MasterCard or Visa logo on them.This means you can use these cards to pay for purchases at any store that accepts these credit cards. There is no charge to you for using the card in this way. 90030 90031 90029 Get cash back at the register: Many retailers allow customers to request cash back on debit card payments at the register. While there is often a limit as to how much cash you can receive, stores usually do not charge you anything to receive cash back. It’s a good idea, however, to check on the store’s policy before making a cash back request.90030 90031 90029 Request a cash withdrawal at a teller window: The banks that issue debit cards will sometimes allow users to make withdrawals directly from a card balance by visiting one of their branches. Check the information that came with your unemployment debit card. 90031 90029 Transfer funds to a bank account: Some states, such as Indiana, do not offer direct deposit of unemployment benefits to checking or savings accounts. However, Indiana does permit benefit recipients to transfer debit card funds directly to their bank accounts via an automated phone system.90030 90031 90029 Use only no-fee ATMs: Your debit card issuer may participate in an ATM network that charges no fees. Check with the debit card company, or your unemployment agency’s website, for a list of no-fee ATMs. 90031 90029 Withdraw larger amounts: If you must use an ATM that charges fees, withdraw larger amounts if it is safe to do so. Fewer withdrawals result in fewer fees. 90030 90031 90037 90014 Tip 90015 90002 An alternative to an unemployment debit card is to request your benefits via direct deposit into a checking or savings account.There are usually no fees associated with the direct deposit, and you will not have to worry about ATM limits, or finding a no-fee ATM when accessing your funds. 90003.
