How to Spot a Business Email Compromise Scam

So yeah: business email compromise scams are a big deal. The con artists behind this criminal enterprise will cold email you, pretending to be someone you work with, in order to gain access to money or information. You might get an email that appears to be from your company's CEO asking you to quickly do something like buy gift cards, or you might get an email that looks like it's from an employee at your company asking you to change their direct deposit information.

The point is to confirm any urgent request somewhere outside of the initial email. And even if the person is your boss or some other bigwig, do not worry about wasting their time. 'The person that is being impersonated would so much rather have someone take the time to confirm than to lose thousands or a million dollars in a malicious transaction,' says Larson. Check the Email Address Getting in touch with the supposed sender isn't always an option.
