If a contractor sent their bank details to the agency (without any proof) then it would be easy enough for the contractor to "accidentally" give the account details of their mum/dad/granny/whatever personal bank rather than the company ones and if they got caught out in the future they could claim it was a "genuine mistake". Depending on the merits of the case, there may be a small penalty and a slap on the wrist for being careless.
If a contractor scanned a bank statement and then deliberately altered the details to misrepresent the account details then they are committing fraud which could very well result in criminal charges and a large penalty.
