When you have to beat blues on a Monday morning, that is all you will be concerned about which clearly was an advantage to the imposter. Please check the email addresses not just the names on the emails and cross check by calling them if they have actually emailed. Also, report to your IT team in your company. All these Superstores should also have a preventive mechanism to stop people from getting scammed.Hope I will get my savings back.#Fingerscrossed
