  • I just got an email from my boss, followed by a text message from my boss. But it didn't take me long to realize that this wasn't my boss. It was a scammer!

    I had a call from a past coworker a while back. He was stuck somewhere, lost his wallet and needed $400 asap delivered to him by Western Union. I was happy to hear from him and we had a little chat. I congratulated him on his decision to acquire an American accent, because when I worked with him he had a British accent. And that's when he just hung up on me. Perhaps because he found his wallet again.

      we all have fallen for them. However, that is often how you learn not to. They are very convincing at times. Well, except the one that spent two hours in FB messenger trying to convince me I won some contest on FB and wanted me to send him money to claim it while I was trying to convince him to wire the money to Norway. Or the one that went into a mumbling fit because I told him my funeral plans involved trash bags and duct tape and being tossed someplace.

      One time, just as my church got a new pastor, I got an email using the name of the new pastor. I don't remember the content of it, but I clicked and read before realizing that we barely met and he probably wouldn't be asking me for help with church business. Some other people got the same scam and the church had to send out a message apologizing / warning about the scam emails.

      We’ve all almost fallen for it at least once. I almost fell for it when a friend of mine’s email was hacked and I had a convincing email. He was emailing me from his “native country.” Luckily, I realized between the last time I saw him and this email, he would have literally had to have gotten on to a plane almost instantly after I saw him and so I called his cell and home line. After changing his password, no more issues.

She compiled the data and sent it to the scammer without any kind of verbal confirmation from anyone. Over 200 employees were affected, including the real CEO 😐.

      @@JWC_4_2_0 You'd be surprised. I've seen scams sent from obviously fake accounts, or accounts that were obviously hacked from companies that the email didn't even claim to be from (i.e. an email from an address for a jewelry business claiming to be from Norton Antivirus or PayPal). It's been a while since I watched this video, but even though it's obvious to someone in the know like he would be, some people don't know to check the email address. Even if it is fake, who cares? If someone uninformed comes into this video and learns to check the email address I'd still call it a net positive.

    "I can't get the gift cards physically. I'm in a meeting." Don't suppose the meeting will end, at all? I can wait on the other side of the door with the gift cards, maybe play on my phone or Switch if the place allows while I wait for you to get out. Even if it's "not anytime soon", it's not forever either, and I doubt it'll last a full night. Even bosses need to go home. You could definitely give Becky the gift cards directly (and once you do, she's confused because she never asked for them). The story just isn't reasonable, and nothing was even suggesting urgency to make you photo and send the cards during the meeting.
