Types of fraud targeting businesses
Protect your business technology
It’s important to protect your business devices, like phones, tablets, laptops, and computers. This helps keep them safe from fraud.
Cheque Overpayment
Fraudsters sometimes trick real sellers by pretending to be new customers and placing an order. They usually pay more than agreed, claiming it was an accident.
Payment redirection fraud
Payment redirection fraud happens when fraudsters pretend to be a supplier or service provider. They trick you into changing bank account details you use to pay them.
Business Email Compromise
Business email compromise, or CEO fraud, happens when someone pretends to be a top executive from your company.
Vendor Email Compromise
Vendor Email Compromise is a type of business email scam where criminals hack the email accounts of trusted vendors. They use these accounts to place large orders or send fake invoices.
Ransomware
Ransomware is a harmful software that blocks access to files on a computer and shared drives.
