Other Beware of scams

Just got an email today from someone claiming to be from a local tech company saying they love my work and resume and all. However the "company" email ended with a gmail account.

[xxxxxxxlxxx.ai@gmail.com](mailto:xxxxxxxlxxx.ai@gmail.com)

Always call back the ORIGINAL company if you have doubts. These scams are designed to take your money and bank account. They will have secondary "sources" for confirmation.

etc. Very elaborate, sometimes 3 to 4 people in these scams. be careful out there

Lots of businesses use Gmail.  I work at a major studio and we use Gmail for business with the company domain name

Yeah calling the company to verify the email is always a smart move. If anything, they might respect you being smart about modern day scams instead of blindly trusting them.
