The Invoice That Wasn't
Sometime this year, someone will ask you to send money to a new place: a contractor's new deposit account, a tuition email, a vendor who switched banks right before an invoice comes due. Most of those requests are real, and the fake ones look exactly like them, because the scammer is inside a real conversation changing a single detail: where the money lands. This episode teaches the pattern instead of one story, and the one move the scammer can't fake: a two-minute call to a number you already had.
What this episode teaches
- Payment redirection scams live inside real conversations and real payments, at work and at home, and only the destination changes.
- You can't spot a redirected payment by reading the message more closely, because the message is real.
- Any request to send money somewhere new gets verified by a call to a number you already had, never one from the message.
