Business scams target organisations through their payment processes, suppliers and staff. Invoice redirection, CEO fraud and business email compromise exploit trust and urgency to divert payments, while fake suppliers, leads and invoices drain budgets. Strong verification, dual authorisation and a culture where staff can pause and check are the best defences.
Fraudsters change supplier bank details so legitimate payments are diverted to them.
Bogus suppliers that take payment or deposits for goods and services never delivered.
Impersonation of senior executives to pressure staff into urgent, confidential payments.
Bogus business leads, directory listings and 'renewal' invoices that charge for nothing of value.
Fake 'your domain is expiring' notices that trick you into paying a bogus registrar or transferring your domain.
Official-looking invoices for trademark 'registration', 'renewal' or 'publication' from bogus bodies.
Compromised or spoofed business email accounts used to redirect payments and steal data.
Bogus purchase orders, often impersonating large firms or institutions, that lead to unpaid goods.
Bogus 'investors' who target startups with due-diligence fees, advance costs, or data theft.
Bogus business partnerships or distribution deals used to extract fees, stock, or sensitive data.
Bogus legal demands — copyright, debt, or lawsuits — pressuring businesses to pay or click.
Invoices for goods or services never ordered, or duplicate 'overdue' demands, hoping you'll just pay.
