Hello,

Just wondering for future references when I get money sent to me if someone could scam you with these details. Account Number & Sort code (this is details needed for bank transfer, done it before etc)

So it's safe with those 2 and if someone wanted to scam you they need more details? Like account name? expire date etc yeah?

I think they probably could. To setup a direct debit or standing order only takes sort code, acc no., name and address from what I remember? They could setup a direct debit to a dodgy company I guess. I only ever give out bank details to close friends and ask them to delete them after they used them to be sure. For randoms deffo use PayPal imo.
