Global Collect BV

Anyone heard of them?
I have received 2 small payments from this company in the past week and I have no idea why or who they are from.
Both are less than £5. Is this something fishy? Why would they be sending me money?
I will speak to my bank on Monday.

Small payments into an account, from a company you've never dealt with, is testing the water. They know the account is active, and they have access to it.
Goes unreported and they're likely to empty the account. Get it reported at the first opportunity.

Spoke to the bank.
Turns out the payments were small dividends from investments.
They used to pay by cheque but have now used this company to send us small payments. Apparently the company will also send us a statement so we can keep track of them.

How would that work ?
