Invoice Payment Scam Alert
We have been made aware of a scam involving the use of our name and logo on fraudulent invoices.
A small number of Companies and Gilbert + Tobin clients have received an invoice purporting to be from Gilbert + Tobin.
What to look out for
The scam invoice is sent via email (often with a subject “Legal Expense”) from a fake email address and contains instructions to make payment into a bank account that does not belong to Gilbert + Tobin.
How to protect yourself
Please be aware that any legitimate Gilbert + Tobin invoices we send via email will always come from a Gilbert + Tobin email address, e.g., name@gtlaw.com.au. Note that Gilbert + Tobin’s bank account details have NOT changed. Act with caution if you receive an unsolicited email or invoice that you suspect could be a scam.
