Direct debit fraud, please help!

Re: Direct debit fraud, please help!!

Signature are hardly any security. A bank teller isn't a hand writing expert and most people don't check them properly anyway.

You don't need a signature. Someone with Originator Plus (OP/) can suck money from any bank account DDs are allowed from. All they need is the sortcode and account number, the account name is not checked against the account being DDed.
