What's happening
Invoice and mandate fraud diverts a real payment to a criminal account. Money moved this way is hard to recover, and every hour matters — banks can sometimes recall a payment if told quickly enough, but the window is short.
What to do
Call your bank at once to attempt a recall. Report it to Action Fraud, warn the genuine supplier that their details were spoofed, and tighten your process so bank-detail changes are always verified by phone. If the scam invoked Credit Corp, tell us via reporting suspected fraud. Prevention detail is in invoice and mandate fraud.
