Essendon Security Tip:
Essendon’s established professional population makes it a target for business email compromise scams — fake supplier invoices and ‘updated bank details’ emails that look like legitimate correspondence. If you receive a request to change payment details by email, always verify by calling the sender on a known number before acting. This is the single most effective way to prevent financial fraud from email-based malware.
