Protect your business from fraudulent invoices

Scammers have increasingly sophisticated methods to steal money from business owners.

One of the most common scams targeting businesses is invoice fraud. This type of fraud can cause significant financial losses and disrupt the smooth operation of your business.

How does invoice fraud work?

A scammer may impersonate your supplier and send you an invoice with altered payment details. These invoices may come from:

• A compromised email account of your real supplier.
• A fake email address designed to look like a legitimate company.
• Telephone contact, where the scammer poses as a supplier representative and pressures for urgent payment.

How to protect yourself from invoice fraud?

1. Verify payment details carefully – whenever payment information changes, contact the supplier through official or already verified channels.
2. Check invoice details – pay attention to small changes in the company name, IBAN, or email address.
3. Don’t be pressured into immediate payment – scammers often apply urgency to force quick transfers.
4. Use secure email systems – protect your email communication with two-factor verification.

Stay one step ahead

Scammers are constantly looking for new ways to exploit business owners’ trust. Careful invoice checks and preventive measures can save you significant funds.
