Impersonating Email

An email looks like it came from your boss, a client, or a company you know. The address is only slightly different.

Warning signs

  1. The name in the mail is someone you know, but the email address is new.

  2. They ask you to change a bank account on an invoice, or to buy gift cards.

  3. The message says it is urgent and confidential.

  4. The writing does not sound like that person.

Confirm a payment change on a phone number or email you already use. Do not use the reply button on the new mail.
