Difference of Flash Funds and Fake Bank Alert

Fake Bank Alert: This means it will be just mere fake credit alert and won’t reflect on the victim’s bank account available balance, it will not even be anywhere near to looking authentic because for any scammer who wants to do fake Bank alert to who they are targeting as their victim they will need to obtain the following

1. Bank account details
2. Phone number (the number the account holder use to receive bank alerts with).
3. E-mail address (the email the bank account holder use to receive his/her bank account related activities).

Flash Funds

The software they use will handle the rest using just your basic bank account details, they will send any amount you and them agreed or you want to sell your stuff either it’s digital asset or physical produce, it will reflect on your bank account available balance and update your current available balance whereby you will never be suspicious of the scammer until transaction is closed and they have moved on, when you will realize you have been scammed is when issues with withdrawal or if the scammer used a software that calls back the payment (preferably called “transaction reversal”),

If you are an active P2P trader/user you must have encountered a situation whereby someone buys digital asset from you and paid, afterwards bank blocks your bank account and tagged it “suspected of fraudulent activity” or the payment you actually confirmed by yourself with your very own clear eyes is no where to be found anymore in your account, have you experienced this?
