is this a laundering scam?
Today I have found that £101 has been deposited in my bank account from somewhere called "North East 316". Has anyone heard of them? Suggestion, per the internet, is that it could be some sort of money laundering. I have spoken to my bank today, but it will be about a week before they can tell me who it is. Any ideas!
