This is the beginning of a texting scam. I almost fell for it while I was on leave. The message was supposedly from my boss. The scammer will continue to send instructions on how to purchase the cards with your credit card asking when will you be picking up the cards etc. Yes, your professional colleagues know better than to ask you to buy gift cards....
Yes we had a few employees at our old practice fall for this also, including on one their first day as an exec assistant for one of our leaders. They hustled out and purchased like $600 of gift cards. I don't quite understand how the scam works but it is rampant.
Check out the podcast “Click Here” episode 80. It covers the evil AI program that creates this scam....
Amazing thank you!
