When you receive a scam invoice, the first step is to avoid clicking on any links or calling any numbers provided in the invoice. Check the invoice for any typos or inconsistencies. If you're unsure about the legitimacy of the invoice, check your account (e.g., PayPal, QuickBooks) on a separate device or directly through the app. Be aware that scammers may use reputable brands to send malicious invoices. If you're convinced to call a number for more information, this could lead to repeat scams. Always verify the source before making any payments.
Question was asked on:
So what can you do if you get one of these scam invoices? First of all, don't click anything, and don't call any numbers. Check it for typos, and if you're really not sure if it's legit, check your PayPal account on a separate device or through the PayPal app directly. And be careful; these scams aren't just limited to PayPal. Scammers have also used Quickbooks domains to send malicious invoices made with a free QuickBooks account and have spoofed requests for payments from brands like Norton antivirus or Office 365. These scammers then convince their victims to call a number to learn more, giving them a second benefit: a phone number to call back for repeat scams. How bad can getting scammed by an invoice get? Well, Google and Facebook found out the hard way when they had to pay out over one hundred million to invoice scammers back in 2019.
