Invoice Fraud

There are a number of simple steps you need to take to protect your business from invoice fraud

Red flags to help spot invoice fraud before you pay

While fraudulent invoices often look similar in format, and even in name, to legitimate invoices, many fraudulent invoices contain warning signs. When processing invoices, keep an eye out for the following red flags:

Business directory invoices
Web domain renewals
More frequent bills
No purchase order

Preventing invoice fraud

Because it is challenging to catch fraudsters and recover money paid, the best strategy is to incorporate safeguards into your invoice payment process. Here are four things you can do to prevent becoming a victim of invoice fraud:

Verify the company name on each invoice
Compare the receipt of goods and purchase order with the invoice
Check the payable address for each invoice
