So, I have an update on this thread I created earlier in the week. Today the bank transferred the $2500 back into our account. I am so relieved! It was particularly frustrating because this account is one we share with our business partners for one of our apartment buildings and the funds in that account are there to pay expenses out of. I talked to our business partners and assured them that if we didn't get the funds back that we would deposit that amount out of our own pocket, just to put their minds at ease.

So glad we don't have to do that!

Anyway, thanks everyone for the supporting comments! This is the best place on the interwebs!

Glad it got sorted out for you relatively quickly. Unfortunately, there is no one way to prevent this stuff, you just have to skeptical about everything you receive.

nice!

Glad it worked out, and thanks for the original thread. I briefed the missus on your experience so that we can avoid the same scam.

Glad the funds were reinstated. Really need to be on your guard, as there are those who will never stop in their effort to steal from others.

Never trust a text, period! My bank has called my phone about fraudulent activity on a bank card, but the caller ID clearly displayed the banks name. Many scams out there!
Glad it all worked out for the best!

Great news. Thanks for sharing the initial post. Good to share this information with each other as prevention measure.
Our CFO got scammed for a few hundred last week. Basically someone taking a public record and emailing everyone on it to offer their services to update a government controlled account you must maintain for Medicaid. I update that account every year. The email they send looks much like the email from the government entity but just slightly different. First they get you to pay a fee, then they ask for a bunch of details about your company so they can update the account. She called me asking for the details and I told her to write off the money and have no further conversation with them. She is a very bright person but these scams are easy traps to fall into.

Me too. I stressed that it’s important never to give up information to someone that called you. It was a good reminder for me as well.

Glad it all worked out.

That's no guarantee of authenticity, unfortunately.
