Just make sure it is cleared funds. If they pay in a cheque it will in some instances show up on you account balance even if it is not clear.

My company got taken for £70k a few years ago by somebody doing the above. If it were me, i'd call the bank just to verify it is cleared funds just to make sure you don't get any hassle.
