Phishing Risk Review

Review phishing risk tied to a payment

WireSnare can flag selected messages when phishing or impersonation patterns appear alongside a payment request. It is not a general email gateway or malware filter.

Know what changed

Some payment scams use a lookalike sender or a familiar thread without relying on a malicious attachment or link.

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

  • Sender details that do not match the expected organization
  • Requests for a transfer, gift card, invoice payment, or bank change
  • Pressure to keep the request private or bypass a normal approval

What to do next

  • Treat the flag as a prompt to review, not a final verdict.
  • Check the sender and payment details against trusted records.
  • Report confirmed fraud to the mailbox provider, bank, and appropriate authorities.

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