Don't be tricked by email scams
Dear Customer
Business Email Compromise is causing serious financial and reputational
damage to businesses in the UK – with statistics showing £46.2m being lost
by businesses, according to the latest reports by UK Finance, a financial
services trade association.
<https://assets.fwdto.net/hsbc/cmb/202402_fraud_email/img1.png>
What's Business Email Compromise?
Business Email Compromise, or BEC, happens when you receive an email
impersonating a new or existing supplier or colleague. The email may seem
urgent, asking you to make a payment to a new account or to update bank
details of an existing payee.
<https://assets.fwdto.net/hsbc/cmb/202402_fraud_email/img2.png>
How are fraudsters successful?
Fraudsters use several tactics, commonly involving hacking into email
accounts or creating similar email addresses. Fraudsters will also copy the
tone of voice used in earlier emails and create invoices which look
authentic, but they're not.
<https://assets.fwdto.net/hsbc/cmb/202402_fraud_email/img3.png>
What can you do to help protect yourself?
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help protect yourself and your
business from BEC:
•
Before making a payment, always verify new bank details by calling the payee
using a trusted number i.e. from the official website.
•
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication on your email accounts to protect them
against unauthorised access.
•
Never call numbers contained within an email – fraudsters can manipulate
them to trick you into calling someone else.
•
Check email addresses carefully for subtle differences such as added
letters, numbers, special characters or a change in email domain for example
.com instead of .co.uk.
•
Don't be rushed – fraudsters pressure you into making quick payments and
decisions so you don't carry out usual checks.
