I don't know what "hangouts chats" are, but I expect that these things exist on every social media platform as well as on email.If I had access to my hangouts chats, I could copy and paste some really weird ones.....lol.....

You're not missing much. It's just another chat app, though it seems to gather many more scammers than some others. It can be hilarious......when you're not being threatened with death.I don't know what "hangouts chats" are, but I expect that these things exist on every social media platform as well as on email.
So, who's name and number are you gonna give them?Forgot about this thread.

NoooooooooooooI vote for @Millie.
My best guess on this is that have my company information and intend to submit false invoices of modest amounts that will get paid without scrutiny.
They donât even ship anything. The most common is for a âcompanyâ to spoof my email address and send an email to someone in AP that says something like âhey Susan, please get this vendor setup and pay the attached today, Iâll get you all the new vendor paperwork in a few days.â Being their bosses bosses boss they tend to do what âIâ ask without question. First one of these I caught was $50k and the check was already in a stamped envelope when I saw it, if theyâd sent wire instructions it probably would have been gone.Seems like a good side business - ship a box of cheap pens and legal pads, then submit an invoice with a strong markup. Hope nobody looks to closely at the bill and that you're not on the list of approved vendors.
this forum really is good for all sorts of things!
