You’ve received money

01

The scene

Your phone buzzes. "You received a transfer of $850." You weren't expecting anything. Minutes later: a message or a call. "Mistake! It was meant for someone else. Accept the deposit, then send the money back — I'll handle the rest." It sounds simple. Polite. Urgent. You don't want to keep what isn't yours.

02

In the room

On stage, the character's honesty becomes the trap. The room recognizes the reflex: help, fix, do the right thing. Then the replay: don't accept the deposit, call your bank on a number you know, talk to someone you trust. You see right away what changes.

1. 01

   Don't accept an unknown deposit

   If you weren't expecting the money, leave it. Contact your financial institution yourself.

2. 02

   Never send money back "to fix it"

   Scammers often use stolen funds. Sending money on can mean losing yours — and becoming part of the fraud.

3. 03

   Talk before you act

   Bank, loved one, trusted staff: a calm check is better than a quick gesture "to help."

04

Same scene, different ending

People remember the notification that seemed harmless — and the replay: phone down, bank reached on the right number, nothing sent back. That "error" is not yours to fix that way.
