Fraud isn't just a “big business” problem anymore.

Today’s scammers are smarter, faster, and laser-focused on small businesses — especially professional service firms like yours. From fake invoices to impersonation scams, these attacks are becoming more frequent… and more costly.

🚨 Why Are Small Businesses the New Target?

It’s simple: small businesses don’t always have big defenses.

Law firms, dental offices, accounting practices, and other professional services often manage sensitive client data and large financial transactions — but without a full-time IT or security team.

To a cybercriminal, that’s a goldmine.

💰 What’s It Costing?

Recent studies show that small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are losing millions each year to fraud — and most don’t even know they’re vulnerable until it’s too late.

The most common threats we see?

  • Business email compromise (where a scammer pretends to be your vendor or boss)
  • Fake invoice scams (that slip past overwhelmed office staff)
  • Fraudulent payment redirects (where funds get sent to a criminal's bank account instead of your vendor’s)

🔐 How to Stay Safe

Here’s what we recommend every local business do — right now:

✅ Train your team to spot fraud attempts, especially via email.
✅ Verify all payment changes with a phone call — not just an email.
✅ Use advanced email security tools to block impersonation attempts.
✅ Work with a trusted IT partner who monitors and manages your systems proactively.
