How To Use ScamShield AI: Check a Suspicious Email, Invoice or Payment Request in 3 Steps

Your accounts team receives a message:

“Our bank details have changed. Please update your records and process Invoice #INV-2451 today.”

The supplier name looks familiar.

The invoice number matches an open purchase order.

The attached bank letter looks official.

But something feels off.

Before your team updates the vendor master or releases payment, use ScamShield AI.

Example: Supplier Bank-Change Email

Before ScamShield AI

Your AP executive receives a supplier bank-change email.

They see:

• Familiar supplier name
• Correct invoice number
• Official-looking bank letter
• Urgent payment deadline

They update the vendor master.

Payment is released.

If the email was fraudulent, the money may reach a fraudster’s account.

With ScamShield AI

Your AP executive forwards the email to ScamShield AI.

ScamShield AI reviews the message and highlights potential risk signals.

The team pauses the payment, calls the supplier using the number already stored in the vendor master, and confirms whether the request is genuine.

If the request is fake, the team stops the payment and escalates.

If the request is genuine, the team proceeds with its normal approval process.

What ScamShield AI Does Not Do

To build trust, be clear about boundaries.

ScamShield AI does not:

• Block payments automatically
• Replace your bank’s fraud controls
• Replace callback verification
• Replace maker-checker approval
• Guarantee that every fraud will be detected
• Approve or reject a payment on your behalf

It helps your team make a faster, more consistent and better-documented pay-or-stop decision.

When To Use ScamShield AI

Use it whenever a message asks your team to:

• Change supplier bank details
• Approve an urgent payment
• Process a new invoice
• Open a GST notice
• Click a payment link
• Share OTP, password or banking details
• Pay through a new UPI ID
• Respond to a CEO or CFO payment instruction

If money, credentials or sensitive business information are involved, check first.
