Heard about these ppl.
Apparently they ask you to accept a large sum of money eg. £300,000 then ask you to pay them back £200,000 ...leaving you with £100,000 supposedly.
The bank will verify it and confirm you can withdraw the £100,000.
Then 6months down the line it bounces and your £200,000 down.
Quite a gud idea like.
