Payment Scam
In public spaces, scammers may approach you stating they don't have cash to pay for their purchase. They are willing to make an online payment to you, if you can pay them cash. You agree and after checking your bank name, they act as if they are making the online payment, using your mobile number. You get an SMS on your phone, which appears to show that you have received the payment in your bank account. You pay the cash to the scamster and walk away. Later when you check your bank account you don't see any entry for this amount. When you recheck the SMS you realize it was a fake. Beware!
