 Immediate Payment:
While you're out of the office, someone contacted one of
your employees with access to your bank account and provide
him/her with documentation from you, instructing them to
make a transfer payment on your behalf right away so that
you can close a crucial deal. By the time you return and
discover the problem, it's too late. The scammer took the
money and ran.

Protect your business:
Put procedures in place to prevent payments
without your direct knowledgement and
involvement. If other employees have access to
your business bank account, it should be for
making specific payments to known vendors. There
should be ways to check to ensure that you're
making payment to those known vendors. Sudden
and surprise request for payment should receive
lots of scrutiny. |
