    Just had a frantic client call me. They received a solicitation via email to wire transfer some funds....

    They actually did it. 80k worth

    No words. Any chance to unwind the transfer?

    Unlikely no reversal will happen. There is a very small window to actually reverse a wire transfer within the SWIFT network. There is a chance that maybe their cyber-security insurance policy will cover them.

    Please tell me that it was to a lonely African prince looking to invest his kingdom's wealth on an American business, however, just needed an 80k wire transfer to see if they would be serious with the investment.

    If I had a nickel for every time I have seen that email...

    In this case, someone spoofed their accountants email address and they failed to check/verify the sender address. (Had a letter missing from the actual legit email address)

    The bigger issue is that we supply them with content filtering for their email domain and they released the email from its quarantine (Thinking it was caught there by mistake) and then transferred the funds...So I really have a hard time feeling sorry for them :)

    I've been getting a lot of these type of emails lately.  The name will show up as someone in my contacts but the actual email address is some random email trying to get me to open an invoice or "verify" my ACH account.  I'd say prior to 2019 I'd get one or two a year.  This year so far I'd say I get at least 2 a week.  And no, I haven't opened one of these invoices or responded to any of these emails.

    Wish this were uncommon.  Every email my wife sends has big red warning at the bottom about wire transfers.  Unless they talk to her directly (not email) they should never ever under any circumstance wire money or diverge from their agreed upon course of action.  She also explains that to them a few times in person.

    Not an email scam but this week we've been getting hit many times with something I hadn't seen before.
    My wife answered the home phone (landline, cuz we're old fogies) when she saw my name in the CallerID popup on the tv. Wasn't me but it was someone trying to convince my wife that our Microsoft Windows pcs were under threat and for a fee they could, etc., etc., etc.
    She told them to basically fvck off. The same thing has happened about a dozen times in the last few days.
    When it happened when I was there to see the popup it wasn't just my name but our house phone number. I asked my wife why she would think I'd be able to call our house from our house phone. She just said she didn't pay attention to the number and just saw my name.
    Phone companies really need to crack down on the ability of people to be able to spoof numbers/ID's.

    No money in cracking down.

     I never amswer my phone.  My friends know to txt me and then I will call back, otherwise no dice.  I also never check voicemails.  Basically my phone is for me to contact you, not for you to contact me.

    And reading this forum while on the john.

    Yeah, she knew right away that it was not a legitimate call and wouldn't have taken their bait.

    Related to the phone spoof, I got a call on my landline (old and slow here as well) from my cell phone, both of which were sitting on the desk in front of me.  Didn't answer but they are definitely pushing the envelope.

    My dad is an equine vet (retired) and I remember going with him every day in the summer to preg check mares and other assorted procedures. When I was older he let me do the castration, sutures, shots, etc. I got pretty good st horse doctoring. 

    He also doubled as the family doctor, worked out well when we needed stitches and all
