Is it a scammer if they want to put money into my account

Can someone send me money to my bank account?

If you have the recipient’s account number and transit routing number, you can use online banking or an app to transfer money into their account. You might do this with someone you regularly send money to, such as a family member. This is also a great way to transfer money between your own accounts.

What do I do if someone wants to send me money?

Block suspicious “clients,” tell the senders of erroneous transfers to contact their bank. And ideally, call to your bank and explain the situation. Don’t spend the unexpected money, either — the sender might try to get it through the bank or through a court.
