Watch out for payment fraud

Be wary when a contact suddenly asks you to pay into a different account abroad. That CRESUS33 is a real code is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Fraud can also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. Wait until the money is actually in your account.
