Pause unexplained changes and confirm them through a previously established or independently obtained contact channel—not contact details supplied only with the change request. Document the contracting entity, beneficiary, claimed relationship, confirmation contacts, and unresolved differences. A mismatch or offshore account requires review but proves neither fraud nor legitimacy. Only an authorized reviewer should decide whether to hold or release payment.</p>
