Ensure any request for a transfer of funds is both authentic and authorized.

Caution is your best friend. Contact the vendor, supplier, and/or financial institution directly to ensure everything is documented correctly on all sides before proceeding with any transfer of funds.

If you do transfer funds based on a fraudulent request, notify your local authorities immediately so work can commence to attempt to recapture the stolen amount.
