In fairness, they didn't know they were a convicted fraudster. The real lesson for OP here is that if ANYONE is asking for anything other than pocket charge then they are 99.9% likely scamming you.

Do not, under any circumstances, lend a convicted fraudster money. That should be self-evident.

Jesus Christ, why wouldn't he just pop to the bank to deposit if he needed it in the account?
I've got some magic beans here OP if you want them...£40 and they will grow into a money tree

Definitely a fake note.
He could find his way to Tesco to find a Good Samaritan but not a post office where he could pay it in?

Fake bank note
Ignore him

Congratulations on your fake £20
LetsChatLife@reddit
This is a classic scam, the note will be fake
Boboshady@reddit
It's far more likely that you're now in possession of a fake £20 note. There's no risk from having done a bank transfer.

Can't do anything with your sort code and account number but it may be a fake £20 note
nikkijxd@reddit
I dont think theres anything he can do but it might be a fake £20 and its best to alert your bank
geekroick@reddit
Are you sure the £20 note is real?

He won't be able to do anything with the details on a bank transfer.
