I did almost get caught in a scam—email appeared to come from CEO in my medium-sized company (so it wouldn’t have been out of place to hear from him). First email simply said, do you have a moment to chat, second was, fortunately, an obvious scam request—“can you buy some gift cards for a client?” but everything was disguised enough that I might have gotten caught with a better-conceived spear phishing attack.
