VYQ Payment Risk Review

Executive finding

The submitted payment request should remain on hold until the vendor’s payment change is independently confirmed through a previously trusted contact method. The invoice appears consistent with prior activity, but the remittance change arrived through an email domain that differs from the vendor’s established domain, and the message applies unusual urgency.

Case facts

Risk signals

• Remittance instructions changed outside the normal vendor portal.
• Sender domain contains an additional character not used in prior correspondence.
• Message requests secrecy and same-day payment.
• No callback to the vendor’s previously verified telephone number is documented.
• Beneficiary name differs from the legal vendor name.

Evidence supporting legitimacy

• Invoice number and purchase order align with the organization’s records.
• Goods were received and internal department approval exists.
• The amount is within the expected contract range.

Required next actions

1. Do not use any phone number, link, or contact information contained in the change request.
2. Call the vendor using the number already stored in approved internal records.
3. Confirm the legal beneficiary name and change request with an authorized vendor representative.
4. Require dual approval for any beneficiary change.
5. Document the confirmation source, reviewer, date, and decision before release.
