All right, I have one of those emails in my inbox, Diesel, within the last few minutes. And it's just too good not to bring to the air. You know, you and I bring our personal life and things on the air a lot. This one's good.

And I knew immediately what it was, but I wanted to share it with you and the Tolos.

Diesel (0:20)

Is this one of those Maury Povich emails, Cole? Are you gonna find out if you're the father?

Cole Bryson (0:25)

Not today. Not today. I think- No, not today. Not today. Maybe tomorrow, but this one's good. And we also have to get into some college basketball as well because the season underway and a big game last night. Michigan State, Duke, so much fun there. Clemson, South Carolina, what's going on with those two? Furman, tonight, right here, you said they're playing Holy Cow Cross, not Holy Cow, Holy Cross tonight. And you can hear, listen to that game on The Fan Upstate with Dan Scott and the crew tonight.

A little early, 6.3 pregame, seven o'clock tip right here on The Fan Upstate. So our boss here in the building, his name is Mark.

We get emails from him often, but I want to read you this email I just got from him. And then I want you to respond, react. The subject of the email is, need your personal number urgently. That's the subject of the email.

From Mark, the email says, and I hope he's listening right now. It would be great if he was, because he knows what this is as well. From our boss, Diesel, hey Cole, I'm tied up in a meeting and I need your quick assistance. Please reply with your personal mobile number so I can reach out to you directly in case I need you on short notice. Keep this between us for now. I'll follow up after the meeting with a time-sensitive item related to Odyssey, and may need your help to move it forward promptly. Thanks, Mark, and it has his full name and his title. So you don't think our boss has our personal number? Like who falls for this?

Hey, I need your personal phone number. So here's the dilemma. Of course, I know this is a scam, but the question I have for you and the Tolos out there, you know how I am. I want to play the game.

You invite me to play the game? I want to play the game? Is it bad if I give this person in Indonesia who's trying to scam me or the company, should I do it or should I not? Because I hope HR is not listening. I know what they would tell me. They would say, no, do not get, don't do it. Could I give them my work number maybe to, I mean, I want to play the game.

Diesel (2:52)

Our engineer is wrecking his car.

SPEAKER_4 (2:54)

Yes.

Diesel (2:55)

To pull over and text you, don't do it.

Cole Bryson (2:57)

But I want to so bad.

SPEAKER_4 (2:59)

Don't do it.

Cole Bryson (3:00)

So here's what I'm going to do. I have a work number that I use for other work.

I want to do it really bad. I want to respond. I know I shouldn't. I know, I know, I know. I've already got... All right, let's see. I just got one text on my personal phone here. A buddy of mine says, do not send it. They're going to try to spoof it and get a two factor authentication code from your phone number. Two factor authentication. Is that like the app we use for work and stuff?

Diesel (3:32)

Yeah, it's the one that, you give them the number, that's authentication number one, and then they're going to send you a code and you have to like respond to the code. That's the two factor.

Cole Bryson (3:45)

I did, I got this email one time at my previous employer and he asked me to go get gift cards from Walgreens. He did, he did. So I stood up from my desk and I grabbed my keys and I walked by his office thinking he wasn't there and he was sitting there and I asked him, I said, sir, you need me to go to Walgreens?

He said, what are you talking about? Well, you just asked me to go to Walgreens for you.

Diesel (4:13)

Why don't you come in and sit down, Cole? We have one of these training modules that you obviously need to take again because you halfway fell for it.

Cole Bryson (4:20)

Oh, I want to so bad. I'm not going to because a buddy of mine, he said they might be trying to get into your bank account. He's an IT guy who just texted me, buddy.
