IN THE MATTER OF FRAUD ABOUT BANK ACCOUNT’S CHANGE
Dear customer,
the threat of bank account exchange fraud is on the rise around the world. There have been some recent cases involving both our suppliers and some of our customers. We hereby warn in order to warn against fraudulent attempts to change the bank details of La Tecnika Due srl.
How can you rest assured to pay La Tecnika Due srl?
First of all, La Tecnika Due srl rarely changes its bank accounts, especially those used by customers to pay for purchases of products and services.
In the rare event that we need to change the bank account for payment, we will issue the request for
change only using the certified electronic mail. We invite you to ask for telephone confirmation
changing your bank details, by calling your contact person on the usual telephone number so that you can recognize its voice.
All other bank account change requests are fraudulent. Any request for modification of the
bank account for payment received through any other communication channel (e-mail, telephone, etc.) must be considered fraudulent.
In its simplest form, these attempts use a phishing e-mail from a fake e-mail account that could appear similar or exactly the same as a genuine La Tecnika Due srl e-mail. A more sophisticated attempt may include fraudulently obtained details of amounts owed, copies of invoices or other information specific to you or La Tecnika Due srl to make the bank change request seem more credible, or even a counterfeit bank confirmation letter. . You may also receive a phone call from an impostor who pretends to be part of La Tecnika Due srl to “confirm” the e-mail.
The criminal’s goal is to convince you that the change request is real.
La Tecnika Due srl takes this opportunity to remind you that it is the payer’s legal responsibility to ensure that funds are properly transferred to the supplier and failure to follow the instructions provided here could result in loss or damage to your company.
We look forward to your cooperation in this critical phase. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this topic, do not hesitate to contact us for clarification.
WITH REGARDS
THE DIRECTIVE BOARD
