I trust my office manager to take care of a lot of things for me. She sent me an email that one of our employees had updated their bank account info. This was not unexpected as I knew this employee was making a lot of changes.

Well, I call this employee to ask a question relating to the bank and he basically asked what I was talking about because he hadn’t changed bank accounts. He did months ago but not recently.

So, I go back to my office manager and she checked the email request she received and it was totally a scam!!!

Luckily we caught it before the direct deposit but not sure how she did not catch it. It was so obviously a scam.

But the routing number seems to be for a legit bank. My office manager calling the bank to report the fraudulent activity on the account number. Anything else you’d recommend doing?
