Supposedly deposits over 10k get attention. I don't know if this only counts in an audit as I find it hard to believe the govt. keeps track otherwise.
The wire scams I know about revolve around banks wiring money to closing companies but I don't know about individuals receiving one. Scammers find out about a real estate closing and call the lending bank with fraudulent account numbers for transfer. It's actually a thing now. So much so they are returning to cashiers checks that used to be a scam problem.
I would call your bank and ask about the dangers of giving your account number. It's on all your checks anyway but who knows anymore.
