Here at Caesar & Howie for sending funds to you we may ask for your bank details at a first meeting or in a first telephone conversation with you. If we do not, we shall only accept bank details in a telephone call made by us to you on the phone number or numbers you have given us. We cannot under any circumstances accept instructions by email to change those bank details – we have to speak to you by calling you.
So far as our bank details are concerned (for sending funds to us), we strongly recommend you do not accept any attempt to change our bank details unless you have spoken in person or by telephone to the member of staff you are dealing with at Caesar & Howie. There is no other safe way. This is for our clients’ protection in an age of increased sophistication of scammers in trying to steal from you.
