@Brad I have been doing some digging around re this matter.

Bank Transfer:
A bank transfer scam, also known as an authorised push payment (APP) scam, occurs when you – knowingly or unwittingly – transfer money from your own bank account to one belonging to a scammer.
If you’ve been caught out by a complex and convincing scam which has resulted in you transferring your money into another bank account than you should contact your bank immediately.
Tell the bank what happened, and let them know the bank account number your money was sent to.
The bank can try and recover the funds once they are notified.
If your bank is signed up to the voluntary Authorised Push Payment Scam Code which launched in May 2019 it has to take a number of steps to protect their customers and reimburse customers who aren’t to blame.
