If you continue to be concerned, it should be fairly simple to open an
account with your bank specifically for this purpose with a minimum opening
balance. Have the $ transferred to the new account, then you make the
transfer to your "real" account. As others have mentioned, make sure you
agree upon who will bear the burden of the transfer charges.

Is there any risk to giving out banking account numbers? I suppose the
account number is on every check you write, so... maybe I'm just being
paranoid.
