New Scam Alert: BBB Reports Fake Voicemails Scam

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) reported: 
 
Scammers use new technology to mimic your boss’s voice and create the recording. This “voice cloning” technology has recently advanced, where anyone with the right software can clone a voice from a very small audio sample. 

How to avoid a business compromise scam:

  • Secure accounts: Set up multifactor authentication for email logins and other changes in email settings. Be sure to verify changes in information about customers, employees, or vendors.
  • Train staff: Create a secure culture at your office by training employees on internet security. Make it a policy to confirm all change and payment requests before making a transfer. Don’t rely on email or voicemail.
