[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1942462, member: 110816"] This is a classic phishing scheme that people receive through email or SMS. These scammers have had good luck with SMS when they end up getting a finance person at a company and the SMS claims to be from the CEO or some senior person. I read about one case where the finance person handed over many 10s of thousands of dollars thinking it was a valid request. I'll restate my general stance on online communication, trust no-one. Especially anyone asking for a favor, money, etc. Reach out to them yourself in a manner in which you can confirm their identity and go from there. [/QUOTE]
