Home › Installment Cancellation Scams: What to Do When You Get a Call About 'Repeat Charges/Settings Error'

Installment Cancellation Scam

Last updated: 2026-06-21
Bottom Line: If anyone tells you to go to an ATM or online banking to 'cancel installment/undo a setting', it's 100% a scam—ATMs have no 'cancel installment' function; those operations actually transfer money out.

How It Works

The caller first reveals your real online shopping order (personal/shopping data leaked) to gain trust, then claims an employee error set you to 12 installments/will result in repeated charges. They say you need to 'cooperate with the bank to cancel it', guiding you step by step to an ATM or online banking to enter an amount—which actually transfers money to the scammers.

❓ FAQ

They knew what I bought, could it still be a scam?

Yes. Leaked shopping data allows scammers to accurately describe your order. The key is whether they ask you to use an ATM or online banking, not whether they know your order details.
