Actually just the other day I saw a thing about a scam which involves scammers finding houses for sale and then pretending to be the solicitors or some other party and asking for a payment to cover something. It works because you are actually expecting this kind of request.
Money laundering.

A refund for something? Planning to go anywhere?
Stick it in account until someone asks then assume a scam. 5% for six years is 34%.
Bank recently sent me about £5 to cover an error, with £4 interest. No idea what it was but it must have been a very long time ago.

In a recent solicitor transaction they closed my file and they realised they had overcharged me by £600 odd.
They sent it to my bank account with a reference number different from the original.
A week later I received a letter about it.
However, the transaction clearly showed the solicitor name on my bank app.
