# M’sian Baker Nearly Scammed By ‘Customer’ Who Gave Her A Fake Receipt For Cake Order

**We've heard countless stories of buyers falling prey to inventive scams, each with a creative modus operandi that keeps us on our toes. **

However, this time, the spotlight turns to a new tactic targeting sellers, shedding light on the ever-evolving landscape of fraud.

A baker in Kuala Lumpur shared a cautionary tale on [Xiaohongshu](http://xhslink.com/Cw6PCE), revealing how he nearly became the victim of a scam that sought to exploit the trust of unsuspecting sellers.

It all started with a customer expressing an urgent desire to purchase an 8-inch cake, seemingly indifferent to its flavor or design, and eager to proceed to payment without the usual preliminary discussions.

## The scammer’s bank transfer claimed a high & incorrect amount, totaling 825

This haste raised red flags for the baker, who sensed something amiss.

Despite instructions to complete the payment by 4 PM, the customer vanished, only to resurface at 1 AM with a dubious receipt in hand.

This receipt, fraught with irregularities and an overquoted amount, aimed to trick the baker into refunding the excess, a classic overpayment scam strategy.

Even more tellingly, the receipt contained a glaring typo in the bank's name, transforming "M2U" into "MU2".

The comments section of his post became a gathering place for others who encountered the same scam, highlighting a pattern of deceit aimed at sellers.
