Invoice safety
Is this invoice real? Check before you pay
A practical checklist for fake business invoices, changed bank details, and urgent payment emails.
The short answer
Do not trust an invoice just because it carries a familiar logo. Fraudsters often impersonate suppliers and change payment details at the last moment.
Warning signs to pause on
- The bank details differ from a previous genuine invoice.
- The sender address is a close misspelling of a supplier domain.
- The invoice asks you to bypass the usual approval process.
- An urgent deadline is paired with a new payment account.
What to do next
- Upload the invoice screenshot or paste the payment email into SignalCheck.
- Call the supplier using a saved phone number, not a number in the invoice.
- Confirm any bank-detail change through a second trusted contact.
- Pause payment until the invoice and payee are independently verified.
