Breh be glad it was only 500. I've heard of folks getting got for thousands. This is why you have to be careful with sites like LinkedIn. You would be surprised at what someone can do with just the basic info you put on there.

shyt was a perfect storm. The emails on an iphone don't show address, it's name only. When your on the computer, it shows the full email. Then my boss, was on vacation so couldn't call him to ask why the CEO was asking me.

You might need to let them know what happened. They may fukk around and think you were involved. Do you have to explain the charges you make to your card?

Meh, I don't really sweat things I do with no malice. I called credit card company and they reversed charges.Job about to bush you, breh

He then says "I told my lawyer I'd reward him for his quick turnaround, pick up a couple of apple gift cards for $500 dollars and drop them off when you pick up the document"
Long story short, I did and realized the email was from a gmail and not our company domain. Also the area code of the text was from a Cali number (I know he lives and is from Atlanta). Luckily i realized this before I dropped off the cards. Sad shyt is, I purchased one.

But on the real tho, luckily all these scams got the same kind of bait so you figured it out in time, not like some flabbyhead getting trains run on their bank account when the scammers pass the contact info along
Also, these companies are testing employees now, sending mock phishing emails to see if you on point with your security so watch out for that

Nah since he didn't actually give anything to the scammer. What his security/IT department should do is give him some training and put better protections in place. We do phishing campaigns constantly and give users 2 chances before we consider them a liability.Job about to bush you, breh

Nah, I'm in upper leadership so I pretty much run my own show. I got the charges reversed already, so not stressing it.

bow down
stupid as fukk. just like his post history on here. so i can't say i'm surprised.nikka why would you buy apple cards ecen if you thought this was your boss with your personal money? And rewarding a fukking lawyer with apple gift cards.
This would be a good time to bring up getting an internal email system at the job with your CEO, OP.
