Fraudulent Letters

Letters have been sent to various areas, including South Wales, purporting to be from companies/solicitors suggesting that money has been accidentally paid into others' accounts.  These letters are worded along the lines of:  The following amount has been paid into your bank account by mistake, please re-pay this immediately by sending a cheque to ....  

Do not send a cheque - check with your bank first and if money has been accidentally paid into your account ask your bank to return it.  Should you receive such a letter and your bank can confirm that it is not genuine, contact the Police and show them the letter.
