Email Betrayal

An employee created a fake notice to his employers from a supplier, asking for future payments to be made to a new bank account. The notice contained the unique supplier number, supplier logo and had all the relevant addresses for both the employers and the supplier. The employers paid two invoices amounting to over £85,000 to the new account. A week later the supplier chased for payment and the fraud was uncovered.
