I received an email from my boss with his with his e-signature (MD, Department head etc..).
Please tell me you never have patient contact, never handle sensitive medical records, never touch a thing that goes into the patient, etc.
I guess you could be the janitor and maybe I'd feel better.
I get this email on the reg, except it says to use the company credit card. I have not, however, run out and purchased 1700 bucks of gift cards with it.

Probably not as useless as an employee who goes out and buys $1700 of gift cards because an email told him to.

way to get ahead in corporate america is to do whatever it takes to deliver, so if my boss e-mailed me in a bind with an urgent request, I'd probably have done exactly the same thing.
The way to get ahead is to not look like a moron.

1. Screenshot the email
2. You are a fricking retard. Literally, 0.01% of the working population would fall for this. And I don’t mean literally in the figurative since. I mean LITERALLY. You are stupid.

I am an I.T. admin for an automotive group of 17 new car dealerships from multiple brands.
These people phishing, scamming, and trying to get cash out of email are going hard now days.
I am not sure the amount but our head over the accounting office wired a large sum of money to a scammer.
These people actually got into the Owners email account and replied to a fairly long email chain between the accounting head and the owner. Requested the money. It legit came from his email account.
We have 700-800 employees getting hammered daily with phishing emails. All it takes is one person clicking on a link or opening a word document and all hell can break loose.

A comma in email? This sounds legit...

I contacted CC company, and they said this is tough case since I made the transactions myself.
Should I file a police report? any hope reclaiming some of the looses?
1) File a police report on fraud.
2) Go to the bank and politely demand a chargeback form. (they will try to get you to get you to agree to a
"dispute" action - don't do it - you need the chargeback.
3) Your cc company is on the hook for the cash if the fraudster has already skipped out (he almost certainly has)
If it actually was a credit card, you should get full funds returned. Debit card is tougher. If the bank/cc company balks, contact your state government banking commission - and cc everyone you can think of - the actual honchos, not staff - congressman, senator, state attorney general, president of bank, president of credit card company, local tv stations, local newspapers, etc. - politely ask for their help in your letter. I'd also cc the owner of your company - cheap bastards should have stepped up right away - not your boss, the owner or CEO.
Chargebacks used to be automatic in fraud cases - you'll have to put in a few hours to get your cash back - well worth the effort.

I usually string those guys along for a few emails and then send them gay porn when they think I’m about to send the picture of the bar code. Then I tell them I’m reporting them to the FBI and they break character and start cussing in their weird foreign syntax.

1. Does your company use Office 365 for their email, or utilize OWA?
2. This happens every day and is very successful. My firm had two attorneys fall for this, but it was iTunes cards instead.
Both attorneys were millennials for you “hur hur stupid boomers” tards.
These emails are way if you use email with outside access and you’re not using MFA you’re wrong. And why you always follow up any email dealing with money with a phone call.

Your boss tell you to go spend $1,700 out of your own pocket for him and you jump to it?
Nothing parts faster than a fool and his money.
Sometime lesson are expensive. Make sure you carry what you've learned forward and do better next time.

WRONG WRONG WRONG
He actually went to the store and made these purchases willingly.
It’s not the credit card company’s fault that he then went out and gave away what was willingly bought.
