Talking Water - Tuesday 28 February, 2023

Scams are occurring where invoices sent by email can be intercepted by scammers.

They replace the real bank payment details on the invoice with their own and forward it on to you for payment.

There are ways to ensure invoices received from any company are correct, including comparing with previous invoices for any changes, checking the payment details are the same as previous invoices and checking the email address it was received from is the same as previous emails.

If you’re ever unsure, or the details on your invoice and the bank details stored in your online banking do not match, call the company involved.

Scams can happen to anyone. You can check if your email or phone is in a data breach at www.haveibeenpwned.com

• the government Scamwatch website,
• the ATO, and
