How to Check This Scam

1
Paste the invoice email or payment request into AskdwinAI to detect impersonation, urgency, and payment-diversion cues.

Verify bank-detail changes through a trusted phone number or accounting contact you already know.
3
Review the sender domain, invoice format, and payment instructions before approving any transfer.

How to Report This Scam

Stop the payment if it is still pending and alert finance or your bank immediately.
Preserve the invoice, email headers, and payment instructions for investigators.
Report the supplier impersonation internally and to the real vendor whose identity was used.
