Scams that use SWIFT codes

Stay wary when someone suddenly asks you to pay into a different account or a bank in another country. A correct SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Check changed payment details through a different channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, never via the email that asked for the change. Watch out for urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. When a payment has already gone to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

People receiving money are targeted too: a classic trick is an overpayment followed by a request to refund the difference abroad. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Metzler B. Seel. Sohn und Co. Kommanditgesellschaft Auf Aktien if something looks wrong.
