Review payment instructions before funds move

WireSnare reviews new messages in selected Gmail and Outlook mailboxes and can flag suspicious payment instructions or impersonation.

Know what changed

A request can look routine while changing the bank, account number, payment timing, or person giving the instruction.

Flag

WireSnare reviews new mail in the selected mailbox and can flag a suspicious payment message.

Review

Open the dashboard flag and compare its reason with the message, sender, and normal process.

Verify and respond

Pause before acting. Confirm through a known contact method, then follow your response process.

What to review

  • Messages that introduce or change payment instructions
  • Sender and conversation details that may point to impersonation
  • Language that pressures the recipient to act quickly or skip normal checks

What to do next

  • Open the flag in the WireSnare dashboard and read the reason for review.
  • Pause the payment or account change.
  • Verify the request through a known phone number or another trusted channel.

A flag is a prompt for review, not proof of fraud. WireSnare does not guarantee prevention. Always verify payment instructions independently before sending funds.
