    As an Indian I want to say thank you for what you do. It's a real shame that India is a safe heaven for these scammers. Unfortunately scam call centers for Indian victims and American victims are very different. Even in India millions of people get scammed everyday by these low lives. My father and uncle both got scammed unfortunately and there was nothing much we could do. My uncle lost his full life savings. Many people in India also resort to committing suicide after they get scammed since they have no money and no help.

      Edit: So you know, it was a gift card for the ceo scam. Circumstances were either extremely coincidental or targeted where the request just made sense for the employee to follow through without checking whether it was a legitimate request.
      2nd Edit: Have seen some very sophisticated attempts over the years. One was a request for technical docs from a company claiming it was a sub contractor for a subcontractor of another company we had done business with. They had facebook, linked-in, and a very well done website. Upon first glance it looked legit enough that the FSO initially just wanted me to check it out to make sure. Going down the rabbit hole, it became obvious that their company was a shill and the employees they claimed to have did not exist. It's easy to get got if you aren't actively looking.

I was lucky enough to get in my Organization and I just work in Identity and Access Management for an organization and work mostly out of Azure Cloud services. Cloud, Automation, Access Controls, Implementation of security measures etc. Then from there, check what certifications you can take and maybe the organization can pay this for you, but there are endless free ressources out there so I would focus on Microsoft Azure/AWS cloud security as most organizations will work with thoses. And really you can focus on anything you want afterwards. CompTIA SEC+ is good overall big certification that covers most aspects of Cybersec. Its what im working on at the moment. I would say not to focus on a giant certification from the start, they are very time consuming and expensive. Get some good basics knowledge, get a college diploma, get an opening position, read and gain experience through sites like Tryhackme.. and other free ressources.

      The problem is that scammers create new ways to keep scamming and some people are just naturally gullible and impressionable.

    Jim, you're restoring some of my faith in humanity. So nice to see your humility and honesty about being scammed yourself. This could and should be a full 90min documentary. I was so into it I couldn't believe it was over already when the next video recommendation thumbnails popped up on the screen.
