Document a Bank Transfer Scam for Recall

Bank-to-bank recalls and SWIFT GPI stops need precise details and they go cold quickly.

What to do

• Note the recipient bank's name, country, account number and sort-code/BSB/IBAN/SWIFT BIC
• Note the exact reference text you used and the value date of the transfer
• Identify whether the receiving account is in the same country (faster recall) or international (SWIFT GPI)
• List any follow-up transfers — recalls work in chains
