How to find out the owner of a Qiwi wallet

There are many situations in which you need to find out the owner of a Qiwi wallet. Among the most popular reasons are:

- desire to find a fraudster to whose number the funds were transferred;

- an attempt to make sure that the transfer will be made to the right number, and the money is delivered to the right person;

- banal human curiosity and much more.
Can I find out who owns the Qiwi wallet?

As you know, when creating a Qiwi wallet, you must specify a phone number. It must be valid, otherwise the user simply will not be able to complete the account registration. An SMS comes to the specified number with a code that must be entered to gain access to the system. Only after that the client gets access to transfers, transactions and the ability to receive money to his wallet.

It would seem that knowing the phone number, you can find the owner of the wallet. In Russia, a SIM card can be obtained only at the office of a telecom operator after presenting a passport. So, the owner of the wallet is known and you can get his full name?

Alas, this is not the case. Personal data is confidential and protected by security services. Any organization, be it mobile operators or banks, have no right to divulge this secret. And the Qiwi service itself does everything possible to save the personal data of customers. Information can be obtained only by a court decision.

How to find out the owner of a Qiwi wallet?

As already mentioned, it is possible to find out the owner of a Qiwi wallet only by a court decision. And even then, this does not guarantee the reliability of the data, since fraudsters can use sim cards issued for other people. But what if you mistakenly made a payment to the wrong wallet or became a victim of cybercriminals?

First, dont panic! If the payment was made in error, then you can call the owner of the Qiwi wallet and ask him to return the money. A decent person, seeing the extra money in the account, will transfer it back.

Secondly, contact the technical support service as soon as possible. Until the money sent to the wrong number is spent, you can return it. It is enough to attach a copy of the receipt and write an application for a refund. It is necessary to describe the reason why the payment went “to the wrong number”. As a rule, the problem is solved instantly. The transaction is frozen and after the proceedings, the money is returned to the owner.

Thirdly, you can fall for scammers who create private Qiwi wallets to deceive honest citizens. In this case, it is necessary to contact not only technical support, but also the investigative authorities of the Russian Federation. Unfortunately, you will be able to get your money back only after a very impressive amount of time.

Therefore, it is recommended to be careful about money transfers. Check in advance reviews about the online store or wallet to which you plan to transfer. And even better - buy goods in unverified places only with delivery and payment after receiving it.
