Invoice #11012 paid – see attached receipt

This email below has been confirmed as malicious or fraudulent by the Information Security department. If you have received this phishing email, do not open any attachments or follow the link(s) in the message; simply delete the email.

This is a Phishing email. The idea is to get the receiver to believe they have been charged for something they never purchased, so they will contact the sender to clear up the issue. The sender will be very helpful and ask personal questions to help “clear up the issue”. This is a common Phishing scam. Always check the actual sender’s email address to see if it is from a legitimate company. Then look up the company’s real customer service phone number if you are concerned it is legitimate. That is, if the company exists. Sometimes scammers use legitimate company names. Amazon Lite is actually a Chrome extension for filtering ads.

Red flag - email sender does not match the company name.
