[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why the majority of people have concluded that the company is fake. The OP stated that when she looked at the actual email address that the request came from, it was not a company email address. This is a common scam — outlook generally shows just the name so the scammer looks up the name of the company President and then makes an email in the name of Bill Gates. When you look at the actual email address, however, it will say something like 394eks@xiae.ch. This is a super common scam and I’m concerned that 90% of the people responding appear unfarmiliar with it. They ask for cash cards because there is no protection—you send them the codes for the cash cards and they immediately convert them. They are not in the US so there is nothing that law enforcement can do about it. If OP has umbrella liability insurance it might cover her. Or the company cyber insurance, assuming it’s a real company. [/quote]
