I wonder what the next stage of the scam would have been? Getting your bank details only gets you so far as long as you don't give away PINs and the like.
Perhaps the bad deposit/refund scam?

Sorry! I forgot to comment on that.Originally Posted by Dave A
Yes, that is what I expect from what SARS said. Basically pay a "VAT refund" into my account, whoops, it was a mistake, please pay it back immediately. Then "refund" is a fraudulent cheque, etc., and oh bugger, I just gave my money to some stranger.
The SARS fraud hotline lady told me that they could only investigate if money had actually been paid, which I can understand - they need some paper trail to follow.
