Urgent Deposit

Definition

An Urgent Deposit refers to a demand for immediate transfer of funds, often under pressure or threat, typically found in fraudulent schemes. Scammers create a false sense of emergency to bypass critical thinking and coerce victims into making rapid financial decisions. This tactic is designed to prevent victims from verifying the legitimacy of the request or seeking advice from trusted sources. It is a hallmark of many phishing and social engineering attacks.
