*Never speaks to anyone ever again*
"I almost got scammed when a friend of mine from college emailed me and mentioned that his firm was handling an angel investor round for a certain technology startup.

It seemed legit, but the payment information he sent me seemed fishy since it was directed to an address in a city I know his firm isn't located in.

"I once placed an order with some kids for a magazine subscription to 'help them pay for college.' I never received the magazines. A few years later, a kid came to my door with the same story and I told him I didn't want to place an order because I was scammed before.

He really did work there, but he used this scam on a bunch of people with accounts at the bank, and then just left the country with all their cash. She ended up getting some of it back, but not nearly all of it."
