Agreed. I would have had the audacity to ask the company for a refund on something they were clearly not at fault for. I am still perplexed why OP thinks they were at fault at all.

That said, people here are vicious. I can totally understand how a young and inexperienced person could fall for such a scam in the midst of a stressful and hectic day. This is a good reminder that we need to educate ourselves and our kids about such scams and not just assume they will be immune in all circumstances. [/quote]

Morally and ethically, the company is responsible, not the intern.  The scammers posed as the CEO, she thought she was doing the right thing. If she were not at the company, she would not have responded to some rando.

It's good the company is making it right (mostly).  That's what they should be doing.[/quote]

I guess in that case, the country of Nigeria owes many elderly Americans a lot of money. [/quote]
