Learn how modern scams target small businesses and get simple steps to spot red flags, secure payments, and protect your money.

Scammers target small businesses with fake invoices, phishing, payroll and vendor payment redirects, and AI-powered impersonation. In this webinar, you'll see how modern scams actually run using real case patterns, the red flags you can spot fast, and a practical checklist to harden email, payments, and staff habits before money leaves your account, without buying a pile of new tools.

📚 What you’ll learn in this session:

  • What today’s scam operations look like end-to-end (from first contact to cash-out)
  • The most common small business hits: invoice fraud, vendor change requests, payroll diversion, and BEC (Business Email Compromise)
  • How AI is being used for impersonation, urgency, and “professional” looking bait
  • A quick triage checklist for suspicious emails, calls, and payment change requests
  • Low-cost controls that stop most fraud: verification steps, MFA, and email account hardening

You’ll walk away with the confidence and practical tools to recognize threats early, respond quickly, and keep your business safe.
