Impersonation Scam
from 16 August 2019, a scammer has been sending emails to my company employees through their work email trying to request them to run an errand. Follow up emails requested for them to help buy a giftcard, claiming that he/she will reimburse the money back. the scammer has tried to impersonate me by using my name. fortunately the email address used was not mine. the scammer used the email address of requestmail@cox.net. do not believe any such email should you encounter it as well.
