Changed payment instructions

A familiar request, with different payment details

A vendor or adviser appears to change where funds should be sent. WireSnare can flag the message so the recipient can verify the change independently.

Know what changed

The dangerous moment is often a small change inside an otherwise ordinary invoice or email thread.

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

  • New bank, routing, account, wallet, or beneficiary details
  • A sender address or reply path that differs from prior messages
  • A request to avoid the usual payment or approval process

What to do next

  • Pause the transfer and preserve the message.
  • Call the vendor using a number already on file.
  • If funds moved, contact the bank immediately and report the incident.

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