I‘ve got this message from a person i know but not really close. I‘m not sure if it‘s some kind of scam or not. I think it sounds fishy, what do you think? Are there other options for sending money via Revolut?

  1. Scam.

    Lot‘s of similar scam attempts are going around since scammers found out they can use chat gpt to write in swiss german.

    Nor sure what app that is, but I would assume that account was taken over by someone and they are now trying to make money.

  2. what i am quite certain about is that you can not refund twint. so its probably not a question of him lying about giving you money at least.

    maybe some money laundring? but then again you said you know that perosn

  3. I don’t see any scam here but if you don’t know the person be careful

  5. ask them to elaborate since it sounds like a scam

  6. sounds fishy, but if they’re scamming someone I can’t see how it’s scamming you. twint doesn’t let you retract a payment like paypal and others do, so once you actually have the money in your account it’s yours

  8. Text a bit more with them, the Swiss German so far looks like a mix of standard german and Swiss German, and if it’s not a native swiss speaker, you could figure that out if you chat more.

    Usually, if they start mixing dialects too much that’s a sign in my opinion.

  9. Sorry, but why would you do it if you don’t know the person well? Or at least call them and ask them about it…

  10. If you have to ask yourself the question, consider it as a scam

  11. Schmöckt ganz stark nacheme [Drüecksbetrug ](https://polizei.nrw/artikel/dreiecksbetrug-achtung-bei-perfider-betrugsmasche)und alle falls amateurhafti Geldwäschi. Wenns schief ghat bisch am Endi Du dä stark Pigmentierti.

    Wenn die Person nöd persönlich känsch und denn Finger devo. Und wenn sie känsch, denn numme wenn dere Vertraue chasch und 105% sicher bisch das s Geld au tatsächlich vo dere Person chunt. Ich würd das z.B. maximal bi mim Brüedsch mache und zwei – drü würklich guete Kollege woni chan vertraue und mr die Sach unter vier Auge besproche händ.

  12. Hützutag isch fasch alles scam. Lüt schribe für ne hunni ir schwiz isch 98% scam

  13. I have asked a friend that exact thing. So the request is not unreasonable. Probably it’s not a scam given you know them.

    But I have no idea if you could actually refund Twint payments. When I did that, it was between close friends. I wouldn’t do it for a random person I barely know. Just tell them that you don’t have any money on Revolut either.

  14. Your screenshot does not show whether you know this person. That’s kinda the most curucial piece of information here.

    Do you know this person?
