There are free money scams where someone transfers money from stolen credit cards.
One way might be to agree to pay $1000 dollar and then “accidentally” transfer $2000 (from a stolen credit card) and then ask the person to transfer $1000 dollar back to another bank account.
I think RatsWrongAboutUAP did offer to pay in crypto which removes the option for these kinds of frauds. Otherwise, just avoiding transferring any money even if someone overpays you is also a good heuristic.
