Payment Change Scam

Payment change scam warning signs.

Payment change scams try to move money to new account details before anyone verifies the change.

What it looks like

A known supplier or executive asks you to use new bank, crypto, or payment details.

Red flags

New payment destination, urgency, instructions not to call, or details that do not match Trust Vault.

What to do next

Verify through a known contact and compare against trusted supplier records.

What to avoid

Do not update payment details from message instructions alone. Escalate when business money or account compromise may be involved.
