The Elaborate Con That Tricked Dozens into Working for a Fake Design Agency

Fraud risk has been dismissed by remote working advocates as irredentist propaganda by those who can’t do without the control provided by a return to the office, but there is no doubt the reducing proximity and synchronicity in a remote first set up, will indeed increase opportunity for fraud. Amazing story by the BBC, worth anyone’s time to read. For the record, I suspect this guy wanted to create an actual business, but was hiring before he got the deals in. Still fraud. H/T to brainfooder Colin McNicol for the share in the fb group.
