Next, they follow up with an urgent request to transfer a large sum of money to a bank account controlled by these cyber criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that when you receive sudden requests like this, they may be spoofed emails and that you should double check by picking up the phone and verify that this is a legit request coming from that executive. In these cases, it&#8217;s &#8220;OK to say NO to the CEO&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This tax season, stay alert for scams like this, and Think Before You Click!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stay alert, and stay safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PC Pitstop Avoids CEO Fraud Jodi Pierce, an accountant for PC Pitstop, received an email on February 8, 2017 with the following request: Jodi was initially suspicious of the email, stating, &#8220;When I received an email from Rob Cheng,\u00a0our company\u00a0CEO, asking me to transfer money to a beneficiary, I was immediately suspicious.
