Got a final statement by email — real or phishing?

DIRECT ANSWER

Real final statements arrive by email too. But phishers exploit that exact expectation. 5 verification points prevent damage.

Phishing around final statements spikes around moves and switching moments — exactly when you expect a statement. Five checks:

  1. Sender domainexact "supplier.nl" or subdomain, no "supplier-payment.com" or "invoice-supplier.nl"
  2. Greetingyour name (real) vs "Dear customer" (suspicious)
  3. Amount plausible? Compare with your expectation on move/switchunexpectedly high or low is a red flag
  4. Payment request with IBANcompare with IBAN on previous invoices; new IBAN with urgency = phishing
  5. NEVER click "pay now" linkslog into the official portal or call customer service. When in doubt: forward to customer service for verification, report to Fraudehelpdesk.nl. If paid: immediately call your bank for chargeback.
