Yeah, just a spam message from someone using robinhood's contact data.

No, I meant was the mimicking your company? I thought that was an internal one.

It really amazes me how people at the office fall for spams/scams. We have TWO external tags, one in the subject and another in the body of the message. But because it says "CompanyName Help Desk" they think it's true, even though we don't have any account that says such a thing and the return address is something like "obviouscam@usehfuehfuhfnwkj.rus".

Ah, yeah, except the "company" is my last name, since that's the domain name.
