Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
The *** of our company recently received two separate emails from what appeared to be the President requesting a wire transfer. The presidents name was clearly included in the associated email address but at close scrutiny there was an extra letter included in the companies domain name. A very difficult error to identify at first glance. The email was written in the first person even though our email addresses do not contain the full name of employees, which indicates that some research was done by the culprit to gather this information. Google the company name and it hits a legitimate company with the only difference being a missing space between two fo the words in the company name.
