Scam Description
I received an email from who I though was my boss using his name, but later on in looking if I hovered over his name it wasn’t legit. The email was with an attached invoice and also a tax id payer page from LinkedIn asking me for payment as if my boss asked me to pay it via ACH through our bank. I was doing two other legit Ach setting them up and really should have caught this however it was a very distracting day and I got caught up in this money transfer. I set up the Ach on 10/17/2022 and it wasn’t set to go through until 10/18/2022. We caught the mistake on the evening of 10/17/2022 around 5pm and called our bank to stop it. Sadly even with them knowing about it the Ach still processed on 10/18/2022.
