DocuSign impersonation scams

What this scam usually looks like

A message or email claims to be from DocuSign about a problem, payment, delivery, or security issue, and pushes you to a link to log in, pay, or confirm details.

What the real DocuSign will never ask for

Your email or work password via a document link
You to 'enable content' to view a file
Payment to release a document

Common fake message patterns

Sanitised examples - placeholders only, never real links or data.

Example only: DocuSign: you have a document to review - sign in to view: [fake-link removed]

Common red flags

An unexpected 'document to review/sign' email
A link or attachment to 'view' the document
A sense of urgency or authority
A sender or link that isn't the official domain

How to verify safely

Verify with the supposed sender through a known contact.
Open documents only from the official app you log into yourself.
Don't enable content or sign in via the email link.

What not to do

Don't open unexpected attachments.
Don't sign in via the email link.
Don't enable macros or content.

If you already clicked or paid

Don't enter credentials. If you did, change the password and enable 2FA. Verify the document with the sender directly.
