INVOICE AND MANDATE FRAUD


In this scam, fraudsters who purport to be from genuine service product providers send out bogus invoices or false instructions to change account details for future payments. The fake invoice may say that the due date for the payment has passed or threaten that non-payment will affect your credit rating. The aim of the scam is to mislead or frighten you into sending payments to a bogus account.


Mandate Fraud


Mandate fraud refers specifically to instructions to change a direct debit, standing order or bank transfer mandate by pretending to be an organisation to which you or your company make regular payments. It could, for example, relate to membership of/subscription to an organisation or to goods supposedly supplied to you in the course of your business.
