Scam Alert: Refund requests targeting small businesses

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Westpac has reported a new scam targeting businesses.

Scammers are reportedly messaging businesses with screenshots of bank statements that appear to show two identical payments to the business, and asking to be refunded for the falsified duplicate payment.

Businesses should double-check any payment details before responding to queries or processing refunds for customers.

If you receive suspicious communication regarding your accounts, contact your bank directly.
