Verify the destination separately
Compare the beneficiary’s legal name with the signed transaction documents. Independently contact the relevant firm to resolve a difference. Keep a record of the source of the phone number and the result of the call.
- Recheck any changed instructions using a previously verified contact.
- Ask your bank about its verification process before authorizing payment.
- Do not send money to a personal account merely because a salesperson tells you to.
Keep your evidence together
Retain the signed agreements, source emails, payment instructions, verification notes and transfer confirmation securely. Do not send private financial records through this site’s inquiry form.
- If money has moved and you suspect fraud, contact your bank immediately.
- Ask whether a recall, hold or fraud escalation is possible.
- Report to the appropriate authorities; recovery is not guaranteed.
