| Madbird Bogus Advertising Agency |
It happened in London and it looks a whole lot like Inventing Anna. A guy creates a digital advertising business and hires a bunch of graphics designers to work on a commission basis, but none of the supposed deals he is working on ever come through. Nobody suspects a thing until one person starts nosing around, looking for the office where they are going to be working when the pandemic is over and finds . . . nothing. In a matter of minutes the whole house of cards collapses. Just like Anna he might have been 'this close' to succeeding if any of those advertising deals he was supposedly pursuing ever came through. On the other hand, he might have just been another Chase scamming his way through life with a completely fake company. The only problem is that it seems that there was no money coming in, none at all. Very weird.
BBC has the story. Via Schneier On Security.
