Trusted accounts (send money)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
To protect users from sending money to scammers, vendor bank account numbers must be marked as
|
|
trusted before you can use them to make an outgoing payment.
|
|
|
|
To do so, open the vendor bank account and click on the :guilabel:`Send Money` toggle switch button.

.. note::
|

All accounts are initially marked as untrusted.

Phishing attacks
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
A **phishing attack** is an online scam designed to trick individuals or companies into giving away
|
|
sensitive information or money by sending out fraudulent communication. Fraudsters pretend to be
|
|
legitimate companies and may use partial information to give credibility to their requests.
|
|
|
|
There are several types of phishing attacks, including **invoice fraud**. In this case, the
|
|
fraudster pretends to be a genuine supplier following up on unpaid bills or sending a new invoice,
|
|
but with different payment information than usual and with fake contact details.
|
|
|
|
To protect yourself from these types of phishing attacks, remain vigilant when you receive
|
|
unexpected invoices or payment requests.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
In case of doubt, **we recommend contacting the vendor by phone**. Make sure to call an official
|
|
phone number by searching yourself, as the URLs, email addresses, and phone numbers written in
|
|
the communication you received may be fake.
|
|
|
|
Elements to check
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
There are several elements you can check by yourself when you receive an outgoing payment request to
|
|
a new account:
|
|
|
|
Communication style
|
|
Fraudulent emails and invoices often use a different communication style, such as **different
|
|
wording**, and may include **spelling and grammatical mistakes**. Examine and **compare** them
|
|
with previous ones that you know to be authentic (e.g., payment instructions, language, company
|
|
logo, etc.).*
|
|
|
|
Urgency
|
|
Invoice frauds often use **urgent or threatening language** and change the **payment deadline**.
|
|
Check if you really received a late payment reminder previously.
|
|
|
|
Type of account
|
|
A company is unlikely to replace a bank account with a **money transfer service**.
|
|
|
|
Email and links domain names
|
|
Double-check the **email address domain** (`example@domain.com`). However, be wary that fraudsters
|
|
can make their email addresses look genuine or even hack email addresses from your vendor's
|
|
employees or even someone within your own organization.
|
|
|
|
Hover over the links in your email and check that the URLs they redirect to are genuine. Your
|
|
internet browser usually displays the link's target at the bottom left of the window.
