Description

An email was sent to our former bookkeeper and made to look like it was at the request of our company's owner. They attached an invoice and a copy of a W-9. They attempted to have us pay them $49,950.00 for "consulting" and a "premium membership" that is fake. Hi, Just a heads-up that the current billing includes charges for coaching, development services, and xxx's premium membership. Details are in the thread below. Kindly process the payment today if possible, or let us know the expected timing. Best regards, Briana U. Thomas Controller Crest Analytics Consulting LLC From: xxx Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2025, 2:47 PM To: Briana U. Thomas [email protected] Subject: Re: lNV. 00-V115 Hi Briana, Was this originally sent to [email protected] as discussed during setup? Just want to make sure it went to the right place. If not, could you forward it there when you get a chance? Thanks, xxx From: Briana U. Thomas [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2025, 11:49 AM To: xxx Subject: lNV. 00-V115 Hi xxx, Just a quick reminder, lNV. 00-V115 is still outstanding. Please let us know once it's been taken care of. Thanks, Briana U. Thomas Controller Crest Analytics Consulting LLC
