Fake invoices bill you for things you never ordered, or quietly change bank details to steal a payment. Paste the invoice for an instant read.
A legitimate invoice matches a real order or purchase you made, comes from a known vendor with verifiable details, references a real PO/order number, and uses the vendor's normal payment details. Scams bill for goods/services you never ordered, fake a 'renewal' or 'listing/domain' fee, pressure immediate payment, or change the bank details (a classic business-email-compromise fraud).
It bills you for something you didn't order, comes from an unverifiable sender, pressures immediate payment, or uses bank details that don't match the real vendor. Match it to your own records and verify any changed payment details by a known phone number. Paste it above to check.
Scammers send invoices that look real but route payment to their own account — often by 'updating' a known vendor's bank details (business email compromise). Always confirm a bank-detail change out-of-band before paying.
