Here in the UK we have a Direct Debit Guarantee [1] which makes scams like that very difficult. It gives very strong protection to the payer including the ability to cancel a DD just by contacting your bank and claim a refund for incorrect payment from your bank as long as you have a convincing reason.

Card payments are not Direct Debit, which the Direct Debit Guarantee covers. Direct Debit is a different payment method that uses your bank account number and sort code. From the page you linked: "...making Direct Debit the UK’s safest payment method".
