>>Spot this one...
People under pressure do silly things. Had a client ask us to transfer an eyewatering sum to a new account.
Automatic checks showed a few large payments being sent to it from our customers, its just this one was really large.
We contacted the bank (different co) and they confirmed it was a new account.
Apparently a "Mr D Ell" - not the real used name but you get the idea - is a real name and was able to pass KYC, including electoral role and driving licence - so some time in the development of the con.
We stopped the payment and it appears that the customer was expecting to pay for a new IT system, PCs, Servers, etc and got a letter - not email with change of bank details. There were typos in the letter that should have given concern, but as we become less strict with grammar and punctuation, these things get missed.
