    Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.

    My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

    It would be better if this didn’t happen at all, but I’d rather see headlines like this than some retiree getting scammed out of their life savings.
