Couldn't a hacker basically just credit money to an account without putting in any money?

   Does that ever happen? Maybe it does and we don't know.

   Absolutely. The scammer can trick the bank into thinking the deposit is good as gold, and then when the bank finds out it's phony, they charge back the customer, not the scammer. So the scammer will say, hey, let me deposit $2,000 into your account, and you check your statement and yes, the money shows up. Then the scammer requests half of it, and you transfer half to the scammer, then the bank finds out the deposit is a scam and you get back charged the entire $2,000. The scammer walks away with $1,000.
