The ADF wishes to advise all customers to beware of an invoice email scam that is currently targeting Queensland businesses.
This scam involves scammers pretending to be legitimate suppliers advising changes to payment arrangements or bank account details held on file. The scammer will send an email which is disguised to appear almost identical to the legitimate suppliers’ email advising updated account information and potentially requesting payment.
More details on this scam including things to look out for and ways to protect yourself from being a victim of this scam can be found at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/news/invoice-email-scam-now-targeting-australian-businesses
If you are concerned that you may have been a victim of this scam, please contact the ADF immediately.
