CEO fraud (business email compromise)
A scam where a criminal poses as a manager, colleague or supplier to get an urgent payment, new bank details or gift cards.
In CEO fraud, the scammer writes as your boss ("I need a discreet favour"), a supplier announcing new bank details, or a colleague in a hurry. There's often no link or attachment at all, just a convincing request and time pressure. Losses can reach tens of thousands of euros in a single transfer.
The defence is simple: confirm any payment request or bank-detail change by phone, on a number you already know. Fishi flags "new bank details", gift-card requests and internal roles writing from outside. Forward a doubtful email to check@fishi.email.
