Warning: Bill Pay Impersonators - By BCP Staff
Planning to pay a bill online? Before you start searching for a company’s payment site, know that dishonest companies sometimes use paid search ads to trick you into paying them instead of the company or agency you’re looking for. Here’s how it happens.

You need to pay a bill, so you search online using a search engine such as Google Search or Bing for the company’s payment site.

In this example from FTC v. Doxo, Inc., the top result looked like it belonged to a well-known lab company. But it’s a paid search text ad that will take you to another company’s site.
When you click on the link and go to the company’s site, you don’t realize it doesn’t have a relationship with the lab company. And when you go to pay your bill, the company may add additional fees you didn’t expect.

According to the FTC’s complaint, Doxo — using search engines, such as Google Search or Bing — mispresented that it was an official payment channel for companies and agencies including Labcorp, AT&T, and state toll authorities.
So how can you make sure you’re going to the real payment site?
• Scroll past the paid search results to help make sure you have the right website or contact info.
• Type the company’s website address (if you know it) directly into your browser to find the right payment site.

Rental Listing Scams -
When you’re looking for an apartment or vacation rental, you’re probably considering things like price, location, and amenities.

A way to spot scams: how someone asks you to pay
Let’s say someone contacts you unexpectedly and says you have to pay to fix a problem, get a prize, or something else. But then they say the only way to pay is by bank transfer, wire transfer, cryptocurrency, payment app, or gift card. Well, reports to the FTC show that’s a scam.
Last year, people reported the largest losses — more than $4 billion in total — to scams where they paid with bank transfers and cryptocurrency. Many of these were to scammers impersonating a government agency, a well-known business, or a combination of both. While the details of the scam and how they contact you change, they always ask you to pay in ways that make it difficult to get your money back. Anyone who says you can only pay in one of these ways is probably a scammer.

Unclaimed life insurance money? It’s a scam -
The BCP has written about this scam before, but like a bad sequel, it’s back. People are telling the FTC they’ve gotten letters in the mail from law firms about unclaimed life insurance money. Have you gotten one of these? The “lawyer” says that one of their clients, with your same last name, died and you’re the heir to a life insurance policy worth millions. (Spoiler alert: you’re not.) The letter then explains that they’d like to split the proceeds between you, some charity organizations, and their law firm. But what’s really happening here?
