WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE ANSWER
- Changed bank details, urgency and a threat, "email only" and no way to call, and a second message (the voicemail) pushing the same request.
- A good answer tells you not to pay today, not to reply to the email to verify, and to call the vendor on a number you already have.
- Claude can be wrong. The check that protects you is the phone call you make.

THE THREE VERIFY-BEFORE-YOU-PAY RULES
1. Call back on a phone number you already have (an old invoice, your vendor file, their website). Never the number in the email or voicemail.
2. A second person approves any change to a vendor's bank details. The person who made the callback cannot be the only approver.
3. Slow down when it is urgent. A real vendor will accept a one-day delay while you verify.

FOLLOW-UP REQUEST (paste it in the same chat)
Now write two things for our office, [your business name]. First, a one-page Vendor Bank Change Policy built on three rules: call back on a phone number we already have on file and never the one in the email, a second person must approve any bank change, and slow down when a message is urgent. Second, a short alert I can send to staff about this scam attempt. Keep both in plain words and leave a blank line for the callback log (who called, number used, date, time).

CALLBACK LOG (copy into your policy)
Vendor: ____________________   Invoice: __________
Who called: ____________________   Number used (from our file): ____________________
Date: __________   Time: __________
Vendor confirmed the change?  Yes / No      Second approver: ____________________

Only ever practice with a fake message like this one, on your own account. Never paste real vendor details or account numbers, and never clone a real person's voice to practice.
