Someone tried to scam me out of $200 by requesting money they claimed to have sent me, even though I never received anything. I reported it and won the case, but now $190 has been added to my account, which I don’t believe is supposed to be mine. After a subscription deducted $5, my balance is now $185.
I’m unsure if I should return the money because I’m worried it might be part of a scam. Here’s how I understand this type of scam: the scammer uses a stolen credit card to send money, then disputes the charge to get it back. If I return the money, the original card owner could also reverse the transaction, leaving me with nothing while the scammer and the card owner get their money back.
This is my first time dealing with something like this, and I’m not sure what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
