Frequently asked questions

How do I know if an invoice is fake?

Upload the PDF to ScamGuard. We check the supplier, banking details, VAT/Tax numbers, layout consistency and known invoice-fraud patterns including BEC (business email compromise).

What is BEC (business email compromise)?

An attacker impersonates a real supplier — usually via a spoofed email — and asks you to pay an invoice into a new bank account. ScamGuard flags these account-change requests.

Can it catch duplicate invoices?

Yes. ScamGuard detects duplicated invoice numbers, suspiciously round amounts, and unusual changes to recurring suppliers.
