Business Email Compromise and Fake Invoices

A fake invoice with new bank details, sent as you. How business email compromise shows up, why it costs so much, and the fixes Repair Forge offers.

Business email compromise is a scam that uses email, yours or one made to look like it, to get money sent to the wrong account. No virus needed.

How it usually shows up

• A customer or supplier gets an invoice "from you" with new bank details.
• Someone in the office gets an urgent payment request from the boss.
• Replies to your emails go to an address you never set up.
• A customer says they paid, and the money never arrived.

Why it matters

The money usually moves fast and is hard to get back. One email can cost a small business a month of income, and the customer who paid the fake invoice may stop trusting your real ones.

What we do

We turn on two-factor across email and key accounts, so a stolen password is not enough, and set up the email records that make it much harder for anyone to send mail pretending to be your domain. Each has a published price.

Questions

Can you get the money back?

That is for your bank and the police, and speed matters, so call your bank first. What we can do is close the gaps that made it possible.

Was our email hacked, or is someone faking it?

It can be either, and the fix is different for each. A real login being misused looks different from a lookalike address. Our free email check shows whether your domain has the records that stop forging.

Both have published prices. Call if you are not sure which fits.
