Payment Fraud – Do’s & Don’ts

Managing payments comes with responsibilities — and that includes keeping your business safe from fraud. At Pemo, we’re here to make that easier.

Here’s a quick guide to help you spot unusual activity, take smart action, and stay in control of every payment.

Verify any change in bank details Always call a trusted contact before updating supplier/vendor banking information.
Pay attention to system alerts If Pemo or another platform flags a payment, don’t ignore it — it’s trying to protect you.
Stick to approved channels Use your company’s official communication tools for finance-related discussions. No exceptions.
Slow down if something feels urgent Scammers often push for fast action. Pause and assess the situation.
Check email senders closely Look out for misspellings, added numbers, or strange domains (e.g. .com instead of .co.ae).
Bookmark important links Access Pemo through your saved link — never from random emails or messages.
Trust your instincts If something feels off or out of context, take a moment. Ask: does this really make sense?

Don’t share passwords or secure codes Ever. Not even with someone claiming to be from the bank or Pemo.
Don’t click unknown links or downloads If you weren’t expecting it, it’s probably a scam.
Don’t reply to suspicious emails Even if it “looks” like it’s from someone you know — call them to confirm first.
Don’t be pressured into quick decisions Fraudsters love urgency. Take your time to verify details.
Don’t trust automatically — question everything Be cautious of new or unexpected requests, even from internal contacts.
Don’t overshare online Avoid posting personal details like birthdays, pet names, or travel plans on social media.
Don’t ignore red flags If you sense something is off, report it immediately to your manager or IT/security team.
