Would you pay this invoice?
A fictional supplier sends an invoice with a familiar amount. The email says their bank details have changed and asks you to pay today.
The detail worth noticing
“Please use our new bank account. Payment is urgent.”
What should you check first?
Pause payment and verify the bank change using a trusted contact method already on file—not the number or link in the new message.
Urgency and changed payment details are warning signs, not proof of fraud. Follow your organisation’s approval and escalation process.
Share this scenario with a coworker and compare your first checks.
