An advisory from Nova Scotia RCMP for business owners on how to recognize and avoid targeted email scams known as spear phishing.
The fraudsters will get access to your email and use the information they find to impersonate you, and email potential victims, manipulating them into paying fake bills, sending gift cards or changing direct deposit information.
Businesses are tricked into believing the source of the request is real and send money or goods directly to the fraudsters.
Police suggest businesses protect themselves by educating employees about this type of scam; have detailed payment procedures in place; and limit the number of employees who can purchase items or pay bills.
