Only wondering if anyone has seen any scams in relation to bank drafts.
I cannot work out what the person who might be responsible for this scam would gain, details are below:
Today I received a letter which was posted from Germany, it was addressed to me & contained a bank draft for €3,000.
There was no cover letter or anything else to explain who sent this and why.
It was made out to 'Pay' me, the details were typed in rather than handwritten & it was an AIB euro demand draft issued from 96 Clanbrassil Dundalk Co Couth.
The Co Couth is an obvious issue and on the right side it says 'presigned'.
I realise this is a scam but I don't understand what they can gain from me as I will do nothing about it. There was no request for any information from me.
I will bring it to my local AIB bank to bring it to their attention.
The only other thing that might be relevant is we have a holiday home and a few weeks ago someone requested to book it for 2 weeks for €900 and said that they posted a bank draft to us. The only information issued to this person was my name & address & obviously they would see the email address that I sent the response from. I did not share our bank details.
