So if they transfer a load of money into your account, what's to stop you from keeping it?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

I actually fell for this scam when i was younger.
I was a bit skint (a bit of an under-statement!) at the time so thought why not, what could go wrong?
Within a couple of hours, £3500 appeared in my bank account. Followed by emails and text messages asking me to transfer 90% via Western Union and I could keep the other 10%.
Alarms bells rang
I went straight to my bank and they immediately reversed the obviously fraudulent transaction. I was still getting text messages from them (Latvians) while sat there with the bank manager asking where the money was :O
The text messages and emails eventually stopped after I told them the bank had spotted fraud on my account.
It's suprising what people will do when they are broke.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment
