An Aussie woman has detailed her costly mistake just days after starting a new job, with the simple error leaving her $3500 out of pocket.
In a video on TikTok, the Gold Coast woman named Jackie claimed she received an email request from who she thought was her new boss, but after learning it wasn't, she realised she'd been scammed.
"Please don't tell anyone and keep it a surprise, but I want you to purchase 15 Apple gift cards for staff members for Christmas," the email supposedly said. Jackie said she asked for the company credit card details to make the purchase, but was allegedly told to use her own and that she'd be reimbursed.

New to the company, Jackie said she "wasn't going to argue back" as it was only her third day on the job so she did "what [she] was told" and purchased 15 Apple gift cards for $1500. But things took a turn when the alleged scammer requested another 20 gift cards, boosting the total spend to $3500, she claimed.
Another email allegedly followed asking Jackie for her bank details so she could be reimbursed. The request made her question the exchange so she messaged her boss.
"Just checking that's you who sent those emails off your personal Gmail asking for those Apple gift cards?" she asked him. "He calls [me] straight away and said, ‘No, that wasn’t me. You didn’t buy them, did you?'"

People warned about common phishing scam​

The video ends with no explanation about what happened next, and Jackie's profile now appears to be private. The video has racked up dozens of comments from people sharing their thoughts on the matter. One claimed she'd fallen victim to what's known as "a LinkedIn scam".
"They scan the site for 'just started at...' announcements and pick a director from the company’s LinkedIn page to impersonate," one person explained, according to 7Life.
If true, Nigel Phair from the UNSW Institute for Cyber Security told Yahoo News Australia this method is "certainly an interesting one". For it to work, the victim would have had to have updated her LinkedIn profile.

Just before year 2000, Aus govt. spend $2b to prevent any problems related to Y2K bug. That was a waste of taxpayers money, because they not found any flaws or not have to rectify anything. But, then PM Howard said it's worth every cent, because we not had any glitch. Since then, everyone believes that spend money on cyber security is a waste of money.

Howard was the most racist PM in recent history, he never ever used the term "multiculturalism" in his speeches. He was full on for white Australia policy.
In the other hand, he was the one who bring back oz economy from Keating's infamous "the recession we had to have".
