Before a payment

Understand the recipient, purpose, amount, and written terms.
Do not rely on urgency as evidence that a payment is safe.
Use independent legal and professional checks appropriate to the transaction.
Keep clear records of instructions and receipts.

Common warning signs

Refusal to explain authority or provide consistent facts.
Pressure to pay before viewing or obtaining advice.
Prices or promises that cannot be supported.
