The scammer James Kent [email protected] orders items from a website and then asks for the business's bank details to make a transfer. He then sends the following email
The money that has been paid to the account will have come from a fake cheque deposited straight into the account or an online transfer from a phished account. When the fraudulent transfer is identified, the money credited to the victims will be reversed, leaving them down the amount they refunded.
Dear Sir,
I received notification on the payment of £69,600POUNDS was mistakenly send to your account from our financial department. They issued another payment along with your payment due to the instruction of your payment and another company payment forwarded to them.
Due to erroneous blunder made by the financial department they issued your payment and the other company payment together as we have other business with the company, in a single payment £69,600POUNDS forwarded into your account, instead of £7,739.28 as agreed
Kindly acknowledge the payment of £69,600POUNDS as soon as it gets to your account so we could sort out the differences and also proceed.
Sorry for the inconveniences this time and hope we do more successful deal in the future.
Best regards,
James.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
