[quote=Anonymous]I was the victim of an attempted scam and didn’t even realize it. I’m the treasurer for our school’s PTO and got an email from the PTO president about an overdue invoice. Fortunately we have a laborious multi-level approval process and I told her I’d need to run the invoice through the levels and that we were fine with paying late fees if that’s what was needed. I didn’t even clue in when the “president” said they company only took PayPal or Zelle. We only pay by check, so that was never going to happen. It wasn’t until about 24 hours later that a bell went off in my head and I realized that it wasn’t real and someone was trying to phish me. And I work for a cybersecurity company! I get trained on this sort of thing all the time!! These people are good at what they do. Young people need to learn to be suspicious about their interactions online. These people can take in even experienced people. [/quote]
