Will i be scammed

Options
Looking for some advice and ill try to keep the info to a minimum 

In 2023 me and my partner went on the holiday of a lifetime to new york we flew british airways we were delayed 3 hours in the first place and also british airways lost out luggage and it didnt arrive to us till 3 days after we arrived 
We wasnt happy

Present day i heard about people claiming for this sort of thing so i looked online found a website that deals with this sorta thing put in a claim and 30 days or so later its saying the claim is succesfull but isnt saying how much for and its asking for my account number on sort code is this dangerous would this be normal?

    Sounds like a scam. What checks did you do on the company? 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Why didn't you claim for the delay and the missing baggage from BA or your travel insurance at the time ?

  • Asking for your bank account its likely a scam

    Not much anyone can do with just a sort code and account number tbf, any direct debits they try to set up can easily be spotted and cancelled.
