Answer a question


13 March 2010

I sold an item on Ebay to person in Italy who wanted to pay by bank transfer. I gave all info inc IBAN/Swift code & haven't heard from him since.Scam?

I haven't sent the goods and the bank reasures me they can only pay money in & not take money out with the info they have (they do not have my security details). They obviously though just wanted by bank info so what is the scam? Could they set up a direct debit to withdraw funds from my account without my knowledge? Help please as I feel a little foolish for giving all my details so trustingly!
