Is it safe to give out bank number?

Question

to give out by bank account number and bsb to someone I don't fully trust? I mean I have to use it to get money on my bank but is there a way they could use it illegaly?

Answer 1

It's never a good idea to give ANYONE those numbers except for a legitimate company (such as your employer) who needs access to your account to give you money via direct deposit.

If someone you know only from on line is supposed to be giving you money, have them mail you a postal money order, or set up a Paypal account and have them deposit the money there. DO NOT give a stranger any of your financial information. EVER.

Answer 2

Not no but h**l NO.
