Pretty sure the Gunts scam will have been bigger and better.
Probably involved chips.

I'm sure there was a story before about this - Annan Athletic were mentioned by one report tonight - and the gist of the story was the club were (fraudulently) notified of new bank details for a particular supplier.
They changed the account details for the existing payment they had set up to said supplier and when the next payment was made it went into the fraudulent account and was quickly moved out of reach.
The bank where the club account is held is not liable for the amount of the loss, therefore the customer takes the hit.
The Annan story was made public, I'm sure clubs would have been made aware to be on their guard so depending on timescales they may well have just fallen victim to the same scam after being warned about it.
It's a real shame the thieving cheating Gorgie Filth were not fleeced for more as the reported 80K is a fraction of a percent of what they ripped off. 750k for Hamilton is probably around a third of their total turnover FFS.
EDIT - Annan were due to receive money but didn't get it so may be a different scam - SPFL warn against online fraud after Annan Athletic money is stolen - BBC Sport

Most clubs were with Bos. I don’t know if hearts ever switched to another Bank when they were taken over by budge.
Hibs are Santander I’m sure so hopefully not caught up in anything like this.
