Legal information
Email disclaimer &
payment security
Important information about emails and payment instructions that appear to come from Boss Lawyers.
Before transferring money
Call before you pay.
Emails, attachments and payment instructions can be intercepted, altered or sent by someone impersonating us, you or another person involved in your matter. A familiar email address, signature or logo does not prove that a message is genuine.
Call using a number you independently trust.
Obtain it from the recipient’s official website or previously verified records. Do not rely on a number or link in the payment request.
Check the complete payment details.
Read out the account name, BSB, account number and amount, and have the details repeated back to you.
Stop if details change or do not match.
Do not act on new account details, urgency or an emailed confirmation until you have independently verified the instructions.
If you suspect a fraudulent payment request
Stop and telephone us using a known or independently verified number. If you have already transferred money, contact your bank immediately to request an urgent stop or recall, then contact us. Keep the email, attachments and transaction records.
