    I had 2 current accounts at the same branch of the same bank with the same sort code, one of the account numbers started 67634, other started 57918. They were opened at the same time as together they could be used for double the interest.

    If they're obviously different numbers then there is huge suspicion, and I doubt OP and a mate would have accounts with little enough difference not to cause this.

    One was a 'premium' account as at the time it was cheaper than buying insurances separately and the other was a standard one, however as the premium one was downgraded later on into a 'standard' account, I don't see how it can make any difference in account numbers.

    Precisely.

    I hope all this talk of scams hasn't scared the op away because they have to be the most unlikely to succeed attempts at scamming I've ever heard of. A mistake is much more likely, but we will never know if the op doesn't return.
