I don't get how it works. If I give my IBAN, then people can send me money, but they cannot take money from me.

A scam would need to ask e.g. my credit card data, but at this point it's pretty clear that it's not to send me money.

I am not in the US. Is that different there? Like do you use the same numbers for both? Or do people just not know the difference?
