Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

I received an email from an address I did not recognize that said: "Per ***** ********'s instruction, I'm forwarding the attached invoice for your Q2 2025 R&D consulting services and executive coaching engagement. Please review and process payment at your earliest convenience." I do not recognize that name or any other names associated with the email/ addresses. Attached was a PDF (the "invoice" referenced in the email) but I did NOT open it- DO NOT OPEN PDF'S FROM SKETCHY EMAILS. Anyway, the email appeared to be a chain between "*****" and the "LLC" in an attempt to give credibility to the exchange. I reported the email as a scam to my company's cyber security provider.
