Scary scams to watch out for this Fraudtober: wire fraud.
A fraudulent email. A fake invoice. A message that appears to come from someone you trust.

Before sending a wire, take a moment to verify the request, confirm payment instructions through a trusted method, and watch for unexpected changes.
When something feels frighteningly urgent, stop and verify. And when you bank with BayFirst, our team is here to help you navigate suspicious requests and take steps to protect your business.
