Overview
- A 44-year-old woman in Córdoba mistakenly transferred ARS 3,426,153.42 after entering the wrong banking alias through Bancor.
- Córdoba’s Cybercrime Department used OSINT tools and fieldwork to trace the recipient, identifying G. N.M. at a legal address in Barranqueras, Chaco.
- The recipient told investigators he was unaware of the credit and had multiple Mercado Pago accounts, some blocked for incomplete security validation.
- A Mercado Pago operator located the funds in a blocked account and executed an internal refund to an active account, enabling immediate return to the sender.
- Equipo Fiscal N°13, led by Dr. Víctor Recio, ordered the restitution, police executed the directive, receipts entered the judicial file, and the case remains open.
