Let's stop
scammers

We specialise in combining advanced technologies with human-centric security to stop invoice scams.

Invoice scams

Invoice scams, also known as invoice fraud, payment redirection scams, and false billing scams, usually involve a scammer sending a falsified invoice or payment request to a customer, tricking them into paying the scammer instead of the business. They are a growing problem in Australia with over 37,000 Australians losing over $18m to invoice scams last financial year, with sectors impacted including: real estate, vehicles sales and travel. 

With the ACCC warning that awareness alone is not enough to protect against invoice scams, Double Checker was founded to protect people and stop these opportunistic scammers.
