How This Attack Works
Fraudsters send fake invoices to businesses or individuals for services never rendered, or intercept legitimate invoice communications to substitute their own payment details.
Red Flags to Watch For
- ✗Invoice from a vendor you do not recognize
- ✗Payment details differ from previous invoices from the same vendor
- ✗Invoice lacks standard details (VAT number, registered address)
- ✗Urgency to pay before an impending deadline
- ✗Reply-to address differs from the sender address
