Your Selected Office Supplies
At Easy Office Supplies, your security is as important to us as your productivity. Recently, there has been a rise in sophisticated “Business Email Compromise” and “Invoice Redirect” scams targeting Australian businesses.
We want to ensure you have the tools to spot a fraudster before they hit your bottom line.
🚩 Red Flags to Watch For
Scammers often pretend to be reputable suppliers like us. Here is how to spot the fakes:
Urgent or Threatening Language: “Your account will be suspended in 2 hours” or “Legal action pending.” We don’t operate that way.
Unusual Payment Requests: Requests to pay via cryptocurrency, gift cards, or to a bank account that doesn’t match our usual Australian BSB.
“Updated” Bank Details: Be extremely wary of emails claiming we have changed our banking details. Always verify this via a known phone number.
Suspicious Sender Address: Check the ‘From’ field carefully. Scammers use addresses like
accounts@easyofficesupply.net.auinstead of our official.com.audomain.
🛡️ How We Protect You
To keep your transactions secure, Easy Office Supplies adheres to the following protocols:
| Feature | Our Standard Practice |
| Banking Changes | We will never notify you of bank detail changes via email alone. |
| Verification | We encourage “Call-Back” verification for all high-value invoices. |
| Links | Our official portal links will always lead to easyofficesupplies.com.au. |
| Data Privacy | We never ask for your passwords or full credit card details over the phone. |
💡 Pro-Tips for Your Team
The “Three-Way Match”: Before paying, ensure the Purchase Order, Invoice, and Delivery Receipt all match perfectly.
Verify the Source: If an invoice looks “off,” don’t reply to the email. Call your dedicated account manager using the number on our official website.
Report It: If you receive a suspicious communication claiming to be from us, please forward it to Sales@easyofficesupplies.com.au and report it to Scamwatch Australia.
Stay Vigilant: Scammers rely on busy offices moving quickly. Taking an extra 60 seconds to verify a payment can save your business thousands.
