How does a fake sms money transfer work??

It's probably about getting goods or services or money from someone on the strength of a fake proof of a completed money transfer. Scammers spoof the SMS notification number of, say, Wing or PayPal or a bank and then sends an unsuspecting victim an SMS which confirms money was sent or is on the way.

Convenience stores here recently offered ABA bank transfer as a payment method. I paid this way once and noticed that the cashier either just glanced at the confirmation of payment on my phone or took a picture of it for later reference (because the ABA app is on the store owner's phone who isn't present). This is unsafe because it gives criminals an opportunity to scam by creating a fake payment confirmation screen before going to the store.

Theres a new ABA card reader/app scanner device, the kiwimart near me has started using it and scrapped the common self service barcode scanner,
With the new device they type in the cost, a barcode pops up you scan it same as before, then it prints off a receipt

Yes like ergosemper said.
He used fake sms sent to our phone number said that money coming to our ABA account.
Also have one more fake sms said money coming by Western Union..

This type of cheating had appeared few months ago in Phnom Penh, now it is here in Sihanouk Ville..

I just don't want other people be cheating like us..

Oof. Fall for that shit?

Only once I suppose.

Yep.. so many red flags. First, the SMS is littered with bits and pieces of errors: no space between 300.00 and USD, United Kingdom spelled with a small k, receivers (plural of receiver) as opposed to the possessive receiver's, no such thing as Western Union Transfer Wise (TransferWise was renamed 'Wise"), USD abbreviated Usd, etc.

The scammer would have failed miserably if you verified the MTCN here:
