Dear All,
I had joined a big NBFC, and within the first 3 days, I realized that the work culture is not meant for me, and I won't be able to survive long. Thus, I took the decision immediately to leave before it's too late. I sent the intimation mail of not continuing the job offered to HR as well as the Function head and joined the new organization next week. I had a few phone calls, explained my problem, and apologized for the inconvenience.
I assumed things were over and was happy in the new organization, but unfortunately, it wasn't. At the month-end, that previous company credited my full salary and opened a PF account with my UAN. It is a problem for me because now my current HR will have documented evidence from EPFO about this prior thing, which is an unnecessary bad record. It may also look like a dual appointment, which is not at all permitted in the current company.
Things against me - I had signed an appointment letter with a 3-month notice period clause which I didn't serve.
Things in my favor - I had served only 3 days (assuming they can't force a notice period for such a small duration employee). I do not have any asset of that company; the laptop was BYOD. My current boss is aware of my previous goof-up, and he was okay with that while onboarding. I have given mail intimation, verbally told HR in discussions, and when salary got credited again, mailed back for reversal.
In the whole scenario, salary credit and PF opening don't seem to be erroneous in such a big company where I, by myself, am offering a reversal, but still, HR is ignoring my mails and calls.
My questions:
1. Why would they be crediting salary intentionally?
2. Can that previous company force me to serve notice or ask for compensation?
3. Can my current employer cancel my appointment because of this (I am on probation)?
Note: I do not intend to keep the amount credited and am willing to return it as per their direction, but they did not reply.

Your queries are answered below:
1. It is not likely that the salary was credited by mistake, probably intentionally. What their motive could be is a matter of speculation, as it seems to be aimed at getting you back.
2. That can be expected as the next step.
3. Not likely, especially since you have kept your current boss informed.
