Sent bank statement to fake Revolut seller

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone $50.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Source: reddit | Scam Type: Impersonation | Amount Lost: $50.0 | Date: April 06, 2026
Hi, On Saturday I bought some furniture off someone. I sent him £50 but he said that his bank (Revolut) blocks incoming transfers due to him receiving too many transfers into the account. He said he needs me to send him a bank statement for Revolut to accept the transfer. I sent him (foolishly) my bank statement with nothing redacted, including my name, address, sort code, account number etc. After a minute or so of him uploading the bank statement, he showed me the notification that the money had been received (it looked like it was from the Revolut app). Nothing has changed with my bank or anything, but I am worried it is a scam and I would just like to know the next steps. I haven't reported it to my bank yet but will be doing that at lunch. How at risk am I? Is there anything else I need to do?
