Tuolumne Sheriff's Office Warning of Payroll Phishing Scams
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/15/2019 04:50 PM
Sonora, CA...There has been an uptick in phishing emails involving payroll direct deposit, primarily targeting businesses and companies by rerouting an employee's paycheck by direct deposit. The emails generally impersonate a real company employee, and are sent to payroll or human resources personnel. The email asks the payroll or HR department to change the employee’s deposit for payroll purposes and provides a new bank account and routing number which, of course, leads to a bogus account operated by the scammer. This request may not seem out of the ordinary as the scammer uses an actual employee whether it be a new hire or a retiree. By the time the deception has been discovered, the employee has lost one or two payroll deposits leaving the company responsible in replacing the monetary loss.
