    I will however try the hardball approach with the receiving bank (I'm aware that my bank has technically done nothing wrong since I authorised the transfer), as I think they have let a bank account either be opened fraudulently (i.e. with a fake name that was incorrect) or allowed a genuine account to be used for fraud.
    Do you know the receiving bank as a lot of these account are overseas, so UK and EU laws are powerless
