So its actually exactly how george abadagwando says. Just had a message back from him and he says he needs name and address of bank, account number, sort code, iban and swift number?

Is he sending money from outside uk? if so... he is right.

If not then he just needs your name and what jim said

I need your account details so I can deposit the monies into your account Sir

Jim Green

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm hoping you know this person that your giving all of these valuable details too...............................

Sounds a little suss to me. I'd be carefull

nothing wrong giving these details out, they can only deposit cash and not withdraw

No one can do anything with your account number and sort code unless they actually went into a branch and showed some valid id then they could take money out or they could in theory set up a direct debit but Direct Debits are guranteed against fraud, other than that they can only pay money in.

They would need your long card number and security number on the back of the card to do fraud with .

So i wouldnt worry

all these details are on any cheque you used to freely give out,people seem to be paranoid these days.
You have my bank details please fell free to try and make deposits and withdrawals,you will find you can only make deposits

??? HOW ???

Same as Ballin and Porkie, when i transfer money to Spain etc i nave to give my IBAN number and all of the above out.

Very safe, don't let the scare mongers put you off. I can't transfer money from Spain to the UK or vice versa without my bank having these.

i prefer bank transfers to paypal tbh, at least they dont rob you blind and then fuck you over unlike paypal.

dojj bank sort code and account number and account holder are printed on your cheques
so your point is? apart from clarkson was a bit of a plonker to put that and further info a scammer needs in the papers

the point is that if someone wants to scam you, hey will try and be as sneaky as possible

did you not hear about the scam where, in order to proove that you have money, you send your mum or brother some money and then show the recipt of the transaction via western union and the scammers can get the money illegally before anyone can get it legitamatly?

happens all the time on places such as gumtree and made some headlines just the other day

for sure, the cheques you give out have all this information on it, but scams still happen

i am never too wary

I do bank transfers regularly, buying and selling parts.

Love them. No charges for me baby!

Name, sort and account no as mentioned above by most sensible rational people!

Swift and Iban if it's a foreign transaction.

Not had any dramas in I'd guess 10 years of doing this, dealing with people I know and people I don't.
