This is before the recent change in bank transfers that requires account name to match account number right?

My understanding was that change basically closes the majority of these scams (where the account details are substituted) as you would now need to create an account with a name you don't have ID for which is very very hard.

Yeah, you're correct.

As for how this actually pans out in practice: I don't know. I'd guess that having people also fill in a name isn't impossible either, although it certainly makes it a lot harder.
