For finance and operations teams

Review invoice fraud risks before you change where a payment goes.

An invoice can look familiar while the sender, payee or bank details have changed. Give your team a consistent way to inspect the request, compare the evidence and verify it independently.

Three requests worth stopping to verify

A supplier changes bank details

Compare the payee and account details with a previously verified supplier record. Confirm any change using a trusted contact route, not the details supplied in the new email.

An urgent payment arrives from a familiar name

Check the sender address and the full conversation. Familiar branding, a signature or a plausible explanation does not establish who controls the message.

An invoice has no matching purchase

Check the purchase order, goods or services received and expected payment terms. Escalate inconsistencies before creating or approving a payment.

Use IsThisSpam to support the review, not approve the payment

1. Bring the evidence together

Review the message, sender, links and relevant supplier details in a business investigation. Keep sensitive information limited to what is necessary for the check.

2. Compare the details

Invoice Guard can flag changes against a previously verified supplier baseline. A new or incomplete baseline cannot establish that a supplier is genuine.

3. Verify outside the suspicious message

Use a previously trusted supplier contact or independently obtained official contact details. Do not use the new phone number or link in a payment-change request as your verification route.

4. Record who checked and what they confirmed

Keep the evidence, reviewer discussion and outcome in the shared case. Follow your own payment authorisation and separation-of-duties policy.

What to agree before rolling it out

The existing business onboarding flow creates the workspace; it does not require staff to use the public scanner.
