Quick answer
Suspicious invoices often reference services you did not order, come from senders you cannot verify, or use aggressive deadlines to stop you cross-checking. Always verify an invoice against your own purchasing records before paying.
What Our Tool Checks
- Whether the service or product matches something you actually ordered
- Sender legitimacy — verifiable company name, address, and contact
- Payment method requested (wire transfer only is a red flag)
- Domain of sender's email address vs. claimed company
- Late fees or legal threats designed to pressure payment
Common Warning Signs
- Invoice for a subscription, domain renewal, or directory listing you did not sign up for
- Sender's email is on a free domain (gmail, yahoo)
- No itemised breakdown of what the charge is for
- Payment is only accepted via wire transfer or crypto
- Legal or collections threat language to create urgency
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
- Payment before verifying the invoice against your own records
- Banking login credentials to 'verify' the payment
- Card details to an unrecognised sender
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
- Cross-reference the invoice against your purchasing records and any signed contracts
- Call the sender using contact info from their official website — not from the invoice
- If your company received this, escalate to your finance or legal team
- Report suspicious invoices to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov
