Is it a piggy if the IBAN doesn't check out?

A lot of times they get the spacing on them wrong. Meaning they put spaces in them.

If it still doesn't check out, wait a day or so and come back saying the bank told you it was invalid and ask him to fix it. If it happens again, yell at him for wasting your time with all these bank trips Very Happy

URGENT! Account problems?

Dear Mr. Schmuck,

I have tried transferring the payment of 55,350 USD to your bank
account as agreed, but there seems to be an error in the account
number. Please forward a correct account number ASAP, as we need the
diamond delivery to arrive in Brazzaville in two weeks from now at
latest. I will be inspecting the goods myself.

Also, I have not heard from Mr. Nimrod for days, and I am beginning to
worry about this whole operation. Please reply urgently.

Sincerely,
Mr. Klump

Among other things, among then a response from Mr. Schmuck from his private mail address, it resulted in this (note related to above account):

Dear Mr, Klump,

Am very sorry to hear about the problem with the account and with regret to inform you that Mr. Schmuck is in Police custody for mismanagement of company funds and that is why the company has put all the transaction on hold.

The development is that the company has appointed me to finalize the delivery with you. As a matter of fact the Diamonds will be delivered immediately we confirm the payment. use the below details to transfer the fund and confirm the slip to me so I will complete the delivery process.

Name: UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA GH. LTD
ADDRESS: LIBERIA ROAD ACCRA GHANA
ACCOUNT NAME: SANEK INVESTMENTS CO LTD.
ACCOUNT NO: 00108124702230
SWIFT CODE: STBGGHAC

Mr.Nimrod lost his family on a car accident and the company has given him time to refresh, the arrangement is that the company will deliver out the consignment from Ghana here so that the safety will be assured. call me if you have any question.
Regards,
Dr Thierry Peter

Hehehe. Then I asked for a photo as confirmation of his identity, after which he wrote me this:

How dare you ask me to send you a picture of myself holding a sign? what an insult, if you don't want to get your delivery, then its up to you.

This is what I answered:

Mr. Peter,

Your choice. I'm not taking any risks at this point.

I doubt he will do more. But there are a couple of others nipping the bait.
