Imagine falling for this in an office of 15 people and you knew the CEO for 20 plus years. I got the email and was like, he
don’t even talk that way, ever. My manager had an intern going to buy them damn cards.

The alarm went off for me when you mentioned gift cards. It was probably some Indian dudes behind it.

luckily no harm no foul. someone at my company downloaded an attachment that installed malware on their computer and it got on our server and was mining data. help desk had to re-image every company laptop (the company had 700 employees at the time) and roll back the servers.
the company now use a combination of proofpoint and microsoft exchange online built in advance threat protection as our email gateway to mitigate spam/phising and have training for users. might wanna bring it up with the IT department and just ask what do they use to filter spam and phising.

At my old job a scammer emailed payroll pretending to be the CEO to update the banking info for her direct deposit. Payroll did it took 2 pay periods before the CEO noticed.
So I started a new job 2 months ago and still learning the ropes. It's a mid size company with around 1000 employees. Anyway to the point, I was heading to a meeting on Thursday and got a email from our CEO, with subject line "Quick Response Needed" and it read "Please send me your cell number". Keep in mind it was in my work email and not spam, so I respond with my number and was thinking like "oh shyt, did I do something wrong?" Keep in mind I only spoke to him once, and that was during a virtual interview in the hiring process.
So the next day I get a text in the morning, saying "Hello Brian, this is Mike (CEO's name) are you available?" I respond with yes of course, and he asked me to pick up a document for him from his lawyer and deliver it to our corporate office. I'm like "ok sure, send me the address of where I need to pick it up" 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.
Keep ya'll head on a swivel brehs, these scammers getting better and better out here. Also, when you check an email on an i-phone, it shows the name only and not the email address unless you click the name, which I didn't.
patel got you something slick.

You'd have a good point if I wasn't in upper leadership and the dude I report to was on vacation.Think the CEO of a company is sending you personal emails at a job you just started brehs

Instantly.
I used to think those mandatory training tests were a waste of time but some people really lack common sense.
