We have been made aware of fraudulent standing orders being set up on individuals accounts.
Thankfully the customers bank flagged it up and checked with the customer before setting the standing order up. It was for £900 for the first month and £850 thereafter. The account it was being sent to was Barclays 20-57-06 50665274. The account is not a business account. The name on this standing order was Highgate Property Investments Limited. ( they actually are a company that dissolved years ago and we suspect these SO's will be in various old company names) The Standing Order mandate is on paper and the signature of customer has been fraudulently added. It is made up to look like a rental payment Standing Order ( from Tenant - to Landlord ) .
If you or someone you know finds a standing order for about £900 has recently been set up on their account for a company you don't recognise please contact the bank to cancel it immediately, and contact Action Fraud 03001232040
