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.
Before you get to invoices, know your vender or suppliers. Check their ABN, bank details and phone numbers.
Call your vendor or supplier. Use the number you have from previous interactions, not the number in the invoice.
Double check the details of the invoice including amount and account details
If you are in doubt, insight on using a non electronic form of payment such as a bank cheque.
An easier way to stay safe is to use DoubleChecker.
We’ll take care of the hard work for you.
