Putting money DIRECT into someones account--Is it safe???
I have sold a set of wheels to someone off the board and they want to put the money straight into my account...
Is it safe, They need the account name, Sort code and account number......................
Can they do anything with that info????

Not unless they have your PIN number, or a full set of identification in your name with their picture, and can answer all those annoying security questions set up by banks.
I'd still go for a cheque for safety's sake

This is the only way I transfer money now. I have a paypal account that hasnt been used in years.
Even my parents were sceptical about giving me details for their accounts so I could reimburse them so you are not alone.
Any payment I do here is all online to other peoples accounts/bills etc.
By providing those details, the absolute worst that can be done is they set a direct debit up with your account details but they would have to have the same name as you and all the other credentials. Not like passing a credit card no. out.

product was never sent
people where too embarressed to ring there bank up to question the payments only petty cash £20 each payment
the actual sellers made thousands on the scam
actually you dont even need there name to send the cash
via phone bank ..just sort code and account number ...
ive paid a few users on here with bank transfers ..much safer than paypal
